College and University Don't Want to Harm Animals in Your Education? You Don't Have To. Every year, millions of animals are dissected or killed in schools and universities on various grade levels. Cats, frogs, fetal pigs, grasshoppers, mink, earthworms, rats, mice, dogs, pigeons, and turtles are just some of the several species used. While most animals are purchased as dead specimens, many are subjected to painful and lethal procedures while still alive.

As a result, individual institutions prescribe their own guidelines on issues such as dissection and vivisection in the classroom.

Informal dissection policies can change depending on the professor, the department, and the institution.

When approaching someone, be sure to have specific ideas or recipes on what can be done. In the bookstore, you may want to ask for less leather notebooks/ binders in your bookstore and ask that more cruelty free cosmetics be made available. Be sure to have in mind distributors who can help find what you like.
