At Washington University in St. Louis, pediatrics residents use cats to learn how to insert a breathing tube in a human infant. They force long tubes down the cats' windpipes, which can cause bruising, bleeding, scarring and intense pain. The cats will be abused again and again like this for years. Washington University is the only civilian medical center training doctors that continues this inhumane practice. We've scored major victories in the past — and recently convinced the University of Virginia to stop using cats. But we can't rest until every cat is safe from this severe form of cruelty. These procedures are completely unnecessary because human infant simulators — used at every other medical center in the U.S. — provide a superior learning experience and are cruelty-free. In fact, Washington University uses simulators to teach intubation procedures to practicing physicians, but they refuse to use them for pediatrics resident training. It doesn't make sense!...

An emergency restraining ordered was issued against Jennifer's assailant, but since Jennifer did not appear in court the day after she was attacked, her assailant was released witho...
