"FROGS ARE COOL!!!!!" - Shelby - Lone Tree Iowa , USA
"Frogs are awesome!!! Why should we dissect them?? What can we possibly learn from killing them?? Nothing!!!!! Can you learn from killing an person? NO!!!! Dissection is a terrible diesease, and must be stopped!!!!!" - Adam - Lodi CA , U.S.A.
"Frog's ARE cool. Although Dissections were required to learn about the internal organs back in the 1600's, it is all Textbook knowledge now. Why do something that has been already done? So you can get an heads-on experience. You can't learn everything from books, after all.
While you CAN read about the Organs of animals, books are often misprinted, disorganized, and sometimes just completely false. While dissections are always accurate, with it all coming straight from the Animal. An Animal obviously can't be misprinted or completely false, right?
I think that, instead of there being dissections forced in schools, the schools should supply you with everything required if you WANT to dissect, which you can do at home. You shouldn't be forced to do something you don't agree with.
Although I enjoy dissections, I don't think that schools should be forcing people to do them.

"i don't care what my teacher says i would rather die than participate in or even be forced to watch some poor animal be cut up for science or biology speaking of which biology is defined as the science of life or living matter in all its forms and phenomena, especially with reference to origin, growth, reproduction, structure, and behavior according to dictionary.com and if we are studing biology why ARE WE CUTTING OPEN A DEAD ANIMAL OR AN ANIMAL THAT IS ABOUT TO BE KILLED BECAUSE SOMEONE CUT IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can suspend me ,ground me, put me in jail, or whatever i will not dissect
" - megan - stafford springs ct , u.s.a.
"I really don't under stand why we have to cut open pour defencless animals for the sake of education!!! Speaking of which what am I supposed to learn! I just won't do it, I refuse!!! Think about it. we come and invade there teratory, we use them as food, then kill them just to figure out what it looks like from the inside out! It's just not fare and I simply won't stand for it" - brody - tampa florida , U.S.A.
"Mkay, so were dissecting frogs next week and I am TOTALLY against it. What does killing an innocent creature teach me?? NOTHING. The day of dissection, I am wearing a tee that says Cut class, not frogs They can fail me, suspend me, really I dont care, point is that what theyre are doing is wrong. Why do we need to dissect a frog?? Can some one please tell me, because Im pretty sure that its not going to do anything for us. When we grow up, I dont think were not going to have a job where we cut up animals. Think about it. Youre going to be a firefighter? Whats that have to do with frogs, youre saving people from a burning building. Police man? When are you going to use your knowledge of frog organs when youre stopping a criminal? Politician? Last time I checked, the governments decisions dont have anything to do with frogs. Get smart; Stick up for the rights of animals and dont dissect." - Emily - , USA
"I really dont think its right for animals to be killed for no purpose and than we have to sit there and watch them die! DISSECTION SUCKS!" - tylar - British Columbia, Canada
"Dissection is evil!!!! At my school they are going to dissect frogs! But this has to stop! I will stop it!!!!! Dissecting on the computer is also wrong. When I see a box of dead frogs on the counter I will burst into tears then go outside to give them a rightful burial. I don't care what the teacher thinks, he's just a human. They stop the animal's rights but we have to stop them!" - Animal Friend Anonymous - Byron Center Michigan , America
"I'm against dissections, and everyone should be. At my school, we can choose if we want to participate, but even the notion that these animals have suffered only fot this, is a reason for me to react !
The fact that we dissect an animal (either dead or alive !!) is cruel enough, but the way these animals are prepared for this !! And the way most students think about it, is even worse !!! Most people don't care or find it very interesting to see how it works and want to do it at least one time in their lives -> well virtual dissections are AS GOOD AS REAL and you won't start using DRUGS only because you want to do it one time in your life and you find it interesting how it works, that's just not a reason !
As I said the animals which are dissected at school endure a lot of other crualties -> THEY ARE SOMETIMES KILLED VERY SLOWLY OR MISTREATED, but NOBODY KNOWS, the problem is that we IGNORE what's happening with them. We just think 'well they're dead anyway, so why not? NO !! THEY ARE ONLY KILLED FOR THIS REASON, ONLY BECAUSE WE JUST THINK OF OURSELFS !! They don't need to die for something so stupid, it's not because you will do dissections that you will know how an animal works.. Please look at them, they have feelings too, they also feel happy, sad or stressed ... When they are brought to the place where they die, of course they are scared !!
Sometimes, cats or dogs are caught in town, it can even be yours... Sometimes, animals are removed from their environment and die just for us !!
IT'S TERRIBLE ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT WE EAT THEM, BUT PLEASE DON'T HURT THEM FOR NOTHING !!!
If we do something now, we can maybe change the future !
If we ALL participate, we will SUCCEED !!!
Tell the People about the Truth, Inform them, You won't be Alone !!" - anonym - - - , France
