Gak, that makes me so sad thinking that they are someone's pet. While I would admit that working on a living thing can not be REALLY replicated, I do not like the thought of it.

I guess we should just be happy that most of the other places don't use animals..

While a handful of institutions continue to use live animals, the American College of Surgeons, the ATLS oversight body, has approved nonanimal models like the TraumaMan System, Synman, and human cadavers for these courses. Across the United States and Canada more than 90 percent of ATLS courses are taught using only human-based simulators.
