Among the 28 member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a variety of training methodologies--including simulators, moulage scenarios, didactics and live animal laboratories-are used to prepare military medical personnel to treat injured civilians and soldiers. For ethical, educational, practical, and economic reasons, the necessity of animal use for this purpose has come into question. This article reports the results of a survey examining the prevalence of animal use in military medical training exercises among all NATO nations, finding that more than three-quarters of these countries do not use animals.
在北大西洋公约组织（北约）的28个成员国中，人们采用了各种训练方法——包括模拟器、模拟场景、教学法和活体动物实验室——来让军事医务人员做好治疗受伤平民和士兵的准备。出于伦理、教育、实际和经济方面的原因，为此目的使用动物的必要性受到了质疑。本文报告了一项调查结果，该调查考察了所有北约国家军事医疗训练演习中动物使用的普遍情况，发现超过四分之三的这些国家不使用动物。
