Stop animal dissections in schools.

The Issue

Millions of frogs, cats, mice, rats, worms, dogs, rabbits, fetal pigs and fishes are dissected in elementary, secondary, and college biology classes.

Most of the schools in the United States still are practicing dissections when they already have different alternatives like interactive simulation programs. Why continuing with cruelty practices to animals?

Biology should be a class that helps to respect and feel compassion for all type of animals. Instead, animal dissections are making some students dissuade from following careers in science.

Help to stop the cruelty! Sign the petition to end the use of animals for dissections in schools. #stopanimaldissection
