No, this is not about fur, or wool or anything like that.
Its about science. Many of you have had to dissect several creatures for bio class, most likely. Today I had to do the frog ringer lab, where a frog has its brain removed (is it really dead?) and then we have to dissect it and add chemicals to its heart to see what happens, then add a third one that will kill it. Now I ask. Despite the fact that many of those animals are bred for that purpose, "to further science", should we use animals as dissection subjects? Or should we just make plastic models and the such? Is it animal cruelty to breed animals for the purpose of being cut up by students just to learn? |

Well.... I guess the debate has stemmed to the issue if an animal's life is worth protecting or not... eh, no matter. Its still in the same area.
I'm going to agree with Fae again. If skin can be made to resemble organic skin, and if sex toys can be made to feel like the real thing and if certain prosthetics and even movie props can be made to look and feel like the real thing, why not do that with human and animal anatomy models? Make them unlabeled so the task of labeling is still there. Humans and animals are not the same, but animals *are* alive. They have a right to get their lives preserved. |
