As you know, earlier this year, we managed to halt all use of animals in medical schools in the United States and Canada. But at higher levels of training—in some trauma courses or residencies, for example—some animals have still been used. In October, we managed to end the …

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith: I just sent an update a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share some great news. First, as you know, we have long been working to stop the use of animals in medical schools.
