Resources & ArchivesTitle(Fall 2001)—After months of discussions and support with humane surgery alternatives from NEAVS, Massachusetts-based Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine (TUSVM) last year became the nation’s first vet school to end all terminal surgery labs on all species. No longer would veterinary students begin their surgical training by killing their first patients. According to AVAR, other schools have also decided to eliminate terminal (non-survival) surgeries in their required courses. This year, the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine will eliminate terminal surgery labs for its required courses and is considering eliminating terminal labs in elective courses as well. Cornell University, and the Universities of Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin vet schools have also agreed to end terminal surgeries in their required curricula. What You Can DoContact NEAVS for our Alternatives to Live Animal Labs brochure. Send a note of thanks for ending the required terminal labs but strongly and politely remind the schools that their work is not over until they replace all terminal surgeries with alternative teaching practices that serve both the “patients” and the budding doctors.
