F U of M

The University of Michigan is among only FIVE PERCENT of institutions still using live animals in training programs. The rest of the schools are using the TraumaMan System which is better and humane. Animals don’t even have the same anatomy as the students will face in real life.


Cats get tubes stuck down their throats; pigs get needles stuck in their hearts. They kill all of the pigs and put the surviving cats up for adoption. It is cruel and unnecessary.

After enough pressure from animal rights groups, student protesters, and petitions they stopped using live dogs. Let’s help the cats and pigs too. Please add your name to this petition.

How to Figure Out If a Cat Is a Stray

If you see a cat outside more than once and you are unsure if it is a stray I want to share a great technique for finding out. Simply take a piece of paper and fold it up, write your name and number on it along with instructions for the owner to call you when the cat arrives at home. You can tie it around the cat’s neck or attach a note to a makeshift collar. If you get a call you will know it has a home and if you see it again with the collar, chances are they are homeless. Many people are abandoning their companion animals during these tough economic times. They need our help. Thanks to Kelli from S.M.A.R.T. for sharing this idea with me.
