In case it's never been said before, I'm going to go ahead and say it: Colorado activists rock!
Activists in Colorado Springs showed that they are fed up with Fort Carson for stabbing and reportedly burning and shooting live goats in bloody trauma-training exercises that attempt to mimic human battlefield injuries. They staked out a busy intersection near Fort Carson and got busy alerting commuters that the exercises are not only cruel but also archaic and unnecessary.

Oh, did I mention that some of the activists in attendance were ex-military? You know that things are shady when even former soldiers start breaking rank. (I can think of a few other soldiers who would probably agree.)

These are human sadists malevolently torturing and killing goats in the name of war. No words can describe how demonic and despicable animal abusers are. Vegetarians and animal rights activists are sane people living in an insane world.

I wish I was there, but I couldn't get a ride down there. I know the lady with the gray hair! I do fur demos with her on Saturdays!

what disgrace is it to be human !! we knowlingly take part in wars and murder, and if that's not enough, we make innocent animals suffer for the man-made catastrophe!! what shame the human race has brought to the animal kingdom - we don't use our ability to reason for any good - rather we use to think of ways to make animals suffer unthinkable torture !!

I'm guessing that a major reason that live animals are used in these exercises is to desensitize the troops to killing.

It is time for change, especially in the military.

Why don't you people have any
demonstrations or campaigns against the us marshals service? After all, they are famous for taking great pleasure in shooting dogs.

What is the purpose of this?
If it's to train medics to treat battlefield injuries the best way to get that experience is to actually be in battle...
An excellent way to be desensitized to killing is to be face to face with someone determined to kill you...
