ok so the only class that is available for me to take in order to graduate Summer (I'm at The Ohio State Univ) is Anatomy including CAT DISSECTION. I emailed the prof to ask if I could still pass without doing this. Awaiting her response ( Read more... )

I am eager to learn the response. I am going into the dietetic field and am required to take anatomy.
I've made it this long without having to dissect anything, although I had to watch dissection of a cow eye.
I know personally I couldn't do it, or watch it. I think I'd actually be around a cadaver.

I saw some people the other day - from a distance- carrying signs and one was shaped like a cat. I wonder if that what it was about. (i was on a bus). Dude. I just saw http://bio.bd.psu.edu/cat/External_Anatomy/index.htm. (picture of a calico awaiting dissection). There is no fucking way I could even be in the classroom on that day.

I seriously got really light-headed.
It's got fur, and little paws, and a face. I really want to cry.
The one my fiance had to dissect in high school was shaved, which doesn't make it better, but I would imagine alot less cat-like
How fucked is having those little cartoon kittens all over the screen!?

I know. i got light-headed too and I don't know if I could even be in the classroom. I'd have to be fucked up on Valium i think.

There are.
And yes dissection is big business. Animals come from mills, pet stores, labs, smuggling. There are even dissection COMPANIES!
There are also vivisections where the animal is still alive.
I've heard horrid stories of cases where an animal was used for vivisection with no anesthesia.

I had to dissect a cat in high school in order to pass anatomy. :( It was horribly traumatic for me... I wasn't vegan at the time, but I was a huge cat-lover. Anyway, some other cat-lover friends and I went and asked the teacher ahead of time why it wasn't a dog, and he said dogs are way more expensive. Dead cats are cheap. :(
