Remember, you have the choice!

Dissecting dead animals sucks! Being forced to watch is equally bad. But you don't have to do it, you have the choice!

Get your practice speaking out against dissection - right here, right now.

"Dissection is wrong ! Lets safe the ainmals Red standing up to MrO book about girl who become viegam and stands up to dissection!!!!!!"
- Jamie Quistberg - Waterloo Ontario , Canada

"Dissection is wrong ! Anmsls derverse a chance too just because there not humans dosent mean anything.Would you kill your dog for science I would NOT and frogs are the same .SAY NO Its up to YOU!!!!!!!REcomad Reading Standing up to Mr. O book on stoping dissection!!"
- Jamie Quistberg - Waterloo Ontario , Canada

"Don't dissect for the fun of it. think about it you might be starting a new thing... saving a life. i know some people won't follow you but at least you can try. Middle school dissectioon can be avoided with a different assignment. just try to be an animal lover for once in your life!!!!!!!"
- Lilly - New York New York , U.S.A.

"NO DISSECTI0N! YOU have the right to refuse. Say no to dissection. It's completely unecessary. Fake animal alternitaves offer a way to learn without killing animals (so do virtual dissections). Most of these thngs won't even cost your school any money. So speak out against dissection!! "
- Alley - None, Of Your, , Beeswax

"I used to love dissecting, until I became a vegetarian and learned how horribly treated these animals are. When I read about "bunchers", I almost cried. It's wrong, and there SHOULD be alternatives in schools all around the world!"
- Julia - Vancouver BC , Canada

" Recently, I was given an assignment to research animal dissection for my debate class. I had absolutely NO clue how torchered these animals are when they're being prepared for dissection. Most of the workers that have the unfortuanate job of killing them don't even CARE about the way these animals are treated. You shold deffinitely take a look at the video link on "No Way" to experience only abut half of what the victims suffer. It's SO gross."
- Natalia Cereceda - Jupiter Florida , United States

"no dissection is NOT AT ALL ok!!!!!!!!! its cruel mean stupid and completely unnecessary!!!!! "
- Makenzie - Mulvane Kansas , USA

"  Who likes dissection?Nerds! Who think killing frogs or other poor innocent animals is cool.I don't think dissection is right!Schools should make a website that has virtual frogs so we can dissect those. It will save LOADS of poor animals every year!A LOT of kids don't like actual dissection because of the guts that come out.But if they do a virtual dissection there won't be guts!Did I mention it will save TONS of poor animals that if we did actual dissection the animals won't know what they are in for! Now you se why I think dissection wrong!

    P.S It would save LOTS AND LOTS of animals"

"dissection is stupid. we had to dissect squid last year, and nobody learned anything at all.  for more animal rights stuff go to goveg.com and onevoice-ear.org/english/index.html"
- jacqui - lex ma , usa

"i think any one that thinks dissecting is fun is stupid, because how would you fell if giants picked you up and cut you half"
- Trevor Wheeler - montague p.e.i , Canada

"KEEP FIGHTING AGAIST DISSECTION!!!!!!!!!!! It's sooo wrong and inHUMANe!

I better be able to talk my teacher out of dissection for biology next year. . ."
- Julie & Kaytii - Ontario , Canada

"i dont understand how anyone could think that dissection is educational!!  do u seriously think people would cut open an animal to "learn"?? most idiots just do it for the fun of cutting up an innocent animal, they dont give care about science!!!  dissection just teaches people that its ok to kill animals for fun, and its not!! and ur right emily, computer stuff DOES cost less!!! DUH!! if you ask me dissection does more harm than good. and animals deserve more respect, they shouldnt be treated like lifeless feelingless things that were just put on the earth for our amusement. animals are living things too, and people need to grow up and start being more respectful to nature, because thats what keeps everything alive"
- Makenzie - Mulvane Kansas , USA

"Cow's are not killed for dissection. They are killed for meat and their eyeballs are sold to biological supply companies for dissection. If you are looking for an online alternative to dissecting cow's eye's visit:

- Lesley - Vancouver BC , Canada

"we had to disect cow eyes in the 8th grade and i started to cry. And then i couldn't stop. Im in high school now and im afraid to take biology. i heard that this boy disected a rat and it had babys in the whom."
- caitlin - goose creek sc , usa

"Okay, so i'm in 7th grade and a vegetarian, i have done so much research on what they do to animals, like how they kill them, for food and for dissections and it is horrible. so then i find out we're gonna be dissecting a cow eyeball, yeah, that's not as bad as a cute little froggy, but these cows were killed just for dissection. so, i tried talking to my teacher to get CDs or a website or something virtual. she keeps saying that it costs too much, YEAH RIGHT!!! so now all of my weekends are spent on the internet trying to find a free website where we can virtually dissect a cow eyeball. My teacher is kinda attached to dissections. I mean, she's been doing these for like twenty years or more and thinks it is the perfect way for a student to learn about cones and rods but she doesn't know there are better ways and i think she doesn't want to know. she won't take the time to listen to me. I'm gonna start a petition soon, I think. unless i can magically get sick on the day of dissection, but i don't think that's gonna happen. Well anyways, this website really helped me understand that i have the right to refuse, to change something i strongly believe in, and just stand up for myself!!! this website rocks, keep it going guys. U r soooo inspiring to so many people, including me."
- Emily - Pollock Pines California , USA

"i am taking biology this year and my teacher told me we were dissecting a earth worm,frog,and crayfish and maybe a CAT??
thats inhuman for me to dissect any one of those. i would of never knew how thses animals died for science till now.Thank You!
No dissection grade for me!! =]"

"I have a dissection coming up in my life science class. I am kinda quezy so I DO NOT looking at things insides and we aren't dissecting a frog but a.........PIGGY a baby one to make it worse! I grew up with pigs and now i am dissecting one!!! It is TOTALLY wrong to kill these animals!! THIS STINKS!!"
- Jessie Lynn - PC Florida , USA

"Hi I am 8 years old and when I get older I want to be a vet I want to save animals not kill them that's why I do research so I don't haft to kill a frog or another animal.

"I think that frogs and any other animal should NOT be dissected in schools because do you think that those animals have a chance to choose?? Well they dont and if you were one of the frogs you wouldn't like to be dissected you would hate it and therefore NOOOO animal should be dissected in schools or anywhere else for that matter."
- Amy Nichole - Germantown Ohio , United States

"Dont disect if you want to protect. If you are thinking about dissecting ; think again! Would you like it if someone cut you open to learn NOTHING?  I didnt think so. STOP DISECTION."
- MaNd3rS*21 - roch. N.Y. , U.S. of A.

"CUT CLASS NOT FROGS    and im serious. I cannot believe this inhuman way of "teaching" students. DONT give in. I will fail if that is the only other option!"
- Amanda - roch. New York , U.S. of A.

"I think that the disection of animals to learn more is just plain pointless. I don't think that cutting animals open is a way to learn things. I became a vegitarian about two years ago. I learned so much about killing animals for our food that I dont want to see them being killed AT ALL. I think it is inhumane, violent, and a total offence to mother nature itself!"
- Amanda S. - Rochester New York , U.S.

"I agree dissection is VERY VERY CRUEL. I mean think about it if some other creature was bigger and most likly smarter than us and wanted to use us for sciencetific information, really think about it. Though if the creature/person what ever really was smarter than we are than they would too figure that dissection is wroung, cruel, and discusting. Who knows pretty soon we wont just be dissecting frogs!! An yes I probally would say no to a teacher if we had to dissect anything, and I dont care if I would get an F the way I figure it, with all of my other grades that F will mean nothing.
(P.S. I am a really bad speller so sorry)"

"i seriously think dissection is the one of the worst things on earth!! i hate it!!! its mean, cruel, gross, and totally unnessecary! i mean seriously, what are we learning from dissection?!?!  when most people do dissection, they are either too grossed out to learn anything, or they arent even payin attention and just do it for the fun of killing an animal! believe me i know some sikkos that would do that!! its horrible and its not fair at all!! can u imagine what those little animals' families think about it?! havin their loved one taken away and killed just so someone can ahem, "learn something"?!.  its just the same as forcibly taking a person away from their family! animals dont have any less feelings than us and people need to respect that!!!!!!!  and dissection isnt the only way to learn!!!! there's lots of computer programs that people can use, i mean HELLO this isnt the stone age people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! usually i'm opposed to technology but in this case i think its great!  computer programs and texbooks are easier, cleaner, more humane, and most likely cheaper! sure you get to do hands on stuff with real dissection, but is it really worth killing an innocent animal???!! that just sounds selfish to me!!!!"
- makenzie - mulvane kansas , USA

"Disection is not right!Before you disect look up were the school gets the animals and what they do to the animals.You'll be so angry you won't want to disect.So ask for a fake animal alternitave,or try to get your school to stop disecting."
- lilly - alama MI , usa

"I'm worried about this site leading students to dis-obey their teachers. Ya, you could dissection is wrong and you dont agree. But flat out telling your teacher off is only going to lead to your failure. I'd suggest that you explain your feelings and ask to opt out of this portion of your class! I think this site is giving the wrong idea to a lot of young folks!

"Hey! I am soo against dissection! I am really shy, and I stood up to my teacher by saying NO! So, I dont know whats wrong wit the people saying dissection isnt bad! DOnt do it just for fun, there is no learning expierience in it! How would you feel if I drowned you, put you on a plate, and cut you open?!?! Just say no! It is wrong, and I wasnt afraind to say no, so you shouldnt be either! "
- Lyndsey - Mount Pocono PA , USA

"Frogs are cool! Even thou the might be groos and slimmy they are  cool. And just think, if people keep doing disection the frogs will get a grudge and if they ever ruled the world they would disecte people and that wouldnt be good."
- Emily Cairns - Montague Pei Pei , Canada

"Jason is right, Angela. everything i've read about says that animals are killed for dissection. And its cruel to breed and raise animals for dissection! i mean, how would you feel being raised to die?? And you know i bet that like 98% of the people who do dissectrion just do it for the fun of ripping up an innocent animal, and they really coudnt care less about learning, so whats the freakin point of doing it if people arent learning anything?!?!  And its not like we're gonna learn anything new and exciting or that we cant learn from from a book or a computer program or something!  Dissection is NOT the only way to learn people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Angela, you really need to rethink this stuff. sorry hon, but dissection really is bad so GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!"
- Makenzie - Mulvane Kansas , USA

"Angela, what is your source for that info? Everything I have read says that the majority of animals killed for dissection were bred for that purpose. They didn't die of natural causes. AND just because an animal might be bred for a specific purpose doesn't mean they shouldn't have any rights or that they can't feel pain. Dissecting animals is dumb."
- Jason - Regina SK ,

"Its one thing to eat an animal. But its another to kill one for what people like to call "science" and"biology"

DISECTION IS WRONG!!!! CUT OUT DISECTION!!!!

Bye I love froggys"
- Becca - Glendale Arizona , United States

"Hey y'all, I no that this sounds rude cuz most yall r animal lovers, but disection isnt completely wrong! If the animals are killed for that use, then it is, but over half of the animals used for disection died a natral death, like old age, and some ppl even donate thier animals for the use of science. I think it is great that yall are standing up for wut u believe in, but u shudnt blame the teachers cuz they just have to do wut the laws and school say they have to teach. And dissection is only good for learning experiances, and yes from dissection there are new discoveries happening everyday! I dont approve of them killing the animals, but if the animal had a peaceful death and is donated for science and gets to be used for the learning experience then I believe it is completely fine! The only times I can understand not wanting to disect is when your squemish, or the animal has been killed! So get a life and face the music! DISSECTION IS NOT COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!!!!!!"
- Angela - Georgia , US

"I think killing animals for any reason is cruel, unessessary, and barbaric!!!!!! But teaching young kids to disect innocent animals has gone to far!!!!!!! I mean if the scientist already  already killed animals for "science" why do they have to do it over and over again! Just use rubber animals or software!!! PLEASE stop the maddness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAVE THE FROGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
