Class Dissection Of Live Dog Outrages Parents, Students

[5ayle]

Animals are bred for research all the time, where do you think so many fetal pigs come from? Anywho, is there a difference between euthanizing an animal then cutting it up and cutting it up then killing it? (oops already addressed... oh well)

Regardless of the philosophy behind it that level of instruction should be kept for higher education based on this logic. If by sacrificing the life of an animal so that a student can learn principles that can potentially save a human life then it is fine. High school kids will are not all going to be in biology. In that aspect, it is a waste. (yup... addressed too hmm... this post is getting increasingly wortheless, i should read threads.... postcount++)

For clarification sedation is not the same as paralyzation. Sedation leaves you unconscious, while paralysis is the inability to respond.

Oh and to make you guys feel even better, i'm sure there are alot rodents that are killed and maimed by farm machinery that gives you wheat and other vegetarian foods. Out of sight of mind right?

It would probably sure as hell have not just laid there while they cut it open if it wasn't sedated.

Just because it was too sedated to move or offer resistance doesn't mean it didn't feal pain...

*le sigh*

Boy, I bet your anesthesiologist just LOVES you.

That was a rediculous comment? The fact is that there's no way for an animal to tell you it's feeling pain if it can't move. The teacher didn't know 100% that the animal wouldn't feel any pain when he sliced his stomach open. I'm sorry, but anyone who would condone mutilating a live animal for any reason is nothing short of a morally inept neanderthal.

My dad is an anesthesian and the drugs he gives to his patients at hopsitals are very powerful, just a bit of this and that you'll be down, but still aware but will not be able to feel any pain at all, it is indeed very powerful, if it can take down 200 lbs man easily, then the same dose applied to say a 40 lbs dog would maybe kill the dog instead, so it's very controlled. And I don't mind that being the fact that we're opening up live dogs as long they were given the proper medications to render them very numb and knocked out. Just like when you go into surgery, they give u a bit of this and that and ur're out in a whiff... The same would go for pet and they would not be likely to feel anything at all.

I think this link will (SHOULD) calm everybody down. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050513/od_nm/life_dog_dc_2

1. The class went to a veterinary clinic to watch.
2. Blown out of proportion.
3. Only abdominal surgery.
4. No body parts were removed.
