Cut out dissection

Millions of animals are killed and dissected in schools each year.

Today, many students protest and educators question the destruction of life in the name of education. People are concerned not only about taking the life of innocent animals, but also about the pain and suffering that animals usually experience on the way to the dissection table.

Frogs are the most commonly dissected animals. The removal of frogs from ecosystems disrupts natures delicate balance. Populations of insects skyrocket, resulting in increased crop destruction, pesticide use, and spread of disease.

In addition, the way animal corpses and toxic chemicals are disposed of in some schools and supply houses is of public concern. Careless disposal of toxic substances can contaminate groundwater and soil, threaten food supplies, and endanger wildlife.

It is not ethical to dissect animals (frogs, cats, dogs, sharks, worms, etc.) who have been tortured and killed so that students can cut them up to learn about human anatomy. These animals haven't donated their bodies to science, and whether they were bred for dissection or going to be killed anyway, they still have the ability to feel pain and fear.
