When are our hospitals and universities going to learn about computer simulations and virtual reality that is more like humans than animals and therefore better for both instruction and practice purposes.

This is not only cruel and teaching cruelty (and teaching tolerance of cruelty) it is WORSE because it is completely unnecessary. It would be great if the medical and psychological professions would come out of the dark ages and get to the late 20th century if not the 21st. This has been completely outdated and therefore an outrage for more than a decade. PFUI!!

There are always other alternatives.
Killing sheep, can be replaced with one of those alternatives that don't require killing life but can still be used for research.

Noted and signed.
