I know its long but please READ, the cats and ferrets need our support! Just Kidding, Washington University Didn’t Stop Torturing Cats In June we celebrated a victory following the announcement that Washington University would be ending the controversial practice of using cats to teach students how to perform tracheal intubation in its Pediatrics Advanced Life Support (PALS) course. Unfortunately, it turns out we celebrated prematurely As it turns out, the joke’s on us. Unfortunately, while we all believed that ending the cat lab meant ending the use of cats for good, the move was nothing more than a sleight of hand trick by the university. While it will no longer be using cats in its PALS course, it will now be using cats and ferrets to teach students in its pediatric residency program. Same cats. Same procedure. Different courses. While the university continues to claim this is a superior teaching method, it’s one of only two schools left that continue using live animals to teach pediatric residents. University of Wisconsin–Madison, is the second University that uses cats and other animals.
