Pat, You are so right about this being disgusting!!! I remember my Anatomy/Physiology class in College. We were required to dissect a dead cat. I was sickened the whole time. Honestly, I learned NOTHING from this. I was in Nursing school...NOT Veterinary school. I could honestly see these kind of things being VERY necessary for Veterinary school..but certainly not the High School level. I hate to say it, but in Nursing school we then went to a morgue and watched several autopsies. Now, this I learned at. As sickening as it was, I learned ! There are quite a few colleges that are doing away with the use of animal dissection, replacing them with interactive viewing through the computers. Not quite hands on, but more intense. These kind of things are where PETA should step in, NOT the goofy things they are into.

I am sure some "educators" may feel this is quality education for high school students but I feel it is disgusting....anyone have any links to protest this type of education for high school students to observe....wonder how many kids come away with the knowledge that it is "ok to cut open a live animal and let's see what's in its stomach"....I am going back to bed and now I know why God did not bless me with children....I would probably have raised them "dumb as stumps" !!
