Please Help Stop The Suffering Of Cats and Kittens
Intubation is a procedure that is used extensively in the medical field, especially for babies and small children. It involves inserting a plastic tube into the windpipe. 
Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) exclusively endorse the use of humanlike manikins for training in their neonatal and pediatric life support courses, however some institutions continue to use cats and kittens in their training. 
This cruel practice can cause bleeding, swelling, scarring, collapsed lungs, and even death. And these initially healthy cats are killed at the end of the training session or used in other painful experiments until they are finally put out of their misery.
You can sign petitions to end this suffering at the following three medical schools:
St. Louis Children’s Hospital
Texas Tech
Heartland Regional Medical Center
PLEASE HELP! There is no need to use live cats and kittens when alternate and BETTER training methods are available and endorsed by medical associations. STOP THE CRUELTY
