I believe none of our government representatives and military should condone any of its members demonstrating and setting examples of evil, to eachother, to their children, or to their country or their enemies.
Link to Huffington Post article (excerpt: "U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, a California Democrat, has introduced legislation that would phase out such use of animals by the military. He said he's faced fierce opposition from the Department of Defense."
The cruel acts described below were committed in Virginia Beach VA.

Subject: Goats Have Their Legs Cut Off With Tree Trimmers, Are SHOT IN THE FACE
 |
Today, PETA blew the lid off highly secretive U.S. military training exercises in which more than 10,000 live animals are violently mutilated each year.
As a result of a brave whistleblower, PETA has obtained sickening undercover video footage of a crude training course for members of the U.S. Coast Guard. Click here to watch the video now.
In the shocking leaked video, course instructors repeatedly break and cut off the limbs of live goats with tree trimmers, stab the animals with scalpels, cut holes in them and pull out their organs.
Some of the goats moaned and kicked their legs during the mutilations. Later in the day, according to the whistleblower, the goats were shot in the face with pistols and were hacked apart with an ax while still alive.
TAKE ACTION NOW TO END THIS CRUEL TRAINING!
Thanks for all that you are doing to help animals!
Sincerely,
 
Rachel Owen
Assistant Manager of Youth Campaigns
