ANIMAL
CRACKERS

Why, in an age of progress, must we have the Victorian attitude of 'kil! it and cut it up' just to see how it works?
I arn, of course, talking about the dreaded dissection lessens that are carried out in science classrooms.
Most pupils are so revolted by the miserabie corpse in front of them that they learn nothing anyway the whole exercise is a waste of time tor the pupil and a total waste of the poer animal's life. Dissectien only devalues life and teaches us to see animals as objects rather than living beings. And I don't think we, as a race, have the right to infliet rnisery and suffering on other creatures.
