Just like the Beach Boys, we wish they all could be California girls—because California girls put on one heck of a protest! Check out these Left Coast ladies in action outside Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California:
Credit also goes to the California boys who attended the protest, including Scott Adams, a retired paramedic who used to teach trauma training courses (without using animals, of course). As he told a reporter for North County Times, "If I hadn't taught trauma, I probably wouldn't have formed such a strong opinion. They could use human cadavers; that would more closely mimic what they're trying to teach."
If you want to see for yourself what the protesters are up in arms about, check out the graphic photos that PETA has obtained of pigs who were stabbed, mutilated, and killed by Deployment Medicine International, the military contractor that conducts trauma training exercises for Camp Pendleton. After viewing the photos, please send an e-mail urging the government to stop stabbing and shooting animals and start using non-animal alternatives in all trauma training exercises.

Lets all face it, this is cruel. There are a lot of people that do risk their life for other people's wars or in order to guarantee the safety of others. To call folks coward is not right. But these actions of exercising by sacrifice instead of investing in a better or more time intese education in order to save lives in demented!
I whatsoever rather have an own opinion then closing my eyes, walking with the masses. SERVING A COUNTRY DOES NOT MAKE EVERY ACTION RIGHT!
Next time you are injured, ask the doctor to not use an procedure learned on an animal. That will take their gloves off and watch you die. Did you know that Medicare, better yet poor minorities, are transported to teaching hospitals to be practiced on? Wake up!
