Appreciating the Pros and Cons of Animal Dissection
[Brought to you by PETA]
Every year, millions of frogs, rats, cats, mice, and other animals suffer and are killed for dissection. Luckily, there are far better ways to learn biology than by torturing animals, damaging the environment, and teaching insensitivity. With more and more states enacting dissection-choice policies, it’s never been easier to avoid dissection.
And so, October is “Cut Out Dissection Month” and PETA wanted to arm you with the “facts” on animal dissection in the easiest, most eyeball-friendly, sharable way—with our handy-dandy infographic!
Assessment by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA
As a Board-Certified surgeon, and Fellow of the American College, I disagree with this sentiment. Of course, I am not in favor of the wanton torture or harm of any animal. But, I still remember the first time I operated on a living, but anesthetized, German Shepard at Temple University in Philadelphia, almost 40 years ago. And, I still can feel the animal’s heart beating in my hands – powerful!
Of course, the anti-vivisectionist crowd scrawled graffiti on the anatomy building walls – the entire semester – to no avail. I also dissected frogs, fetal pigs, sharks, rabbits and several cats before reaching medical school.
