The fetuses used for dissections are taken from pregnant sows at the slaughterhouse (Humane Society paragraph 4). Not only are their lives substantially shortened, but they are also deprived of space, fresh air, and fresh forage. Almost all of the pigs slaughtered for human consumption are raised in crowded, confined conditions.

Many animals taken for school dissections, especially fetal pigs, are by-products of the meat industry. In the school curriculum, children are taught about the biodiversity crisis and all of its negative aspects, but at the same time, students are encouraged to contribute to it. This means that, along with all of the other ways humans are impacting frog populations, such as global climate change and pollution, humans are also destroying their populations (NEAVS paragraph 7). Millions of frogs are harvested every year from the wild for dissection purposes. Animals are treated unjustly, and by buying these dissection sets, it is funding and promoting the abuse of animals. Animals are often stockpiled on top of one another and shipped in crowded containers with no temperature regulation, food, or water (NEAVS paragraph 4). Many of these animals are sold to schools from fur companies, pet stores and, many times, slaughterhouses (PETA paragraph 2). The millions of animals that are dissected each year in education systems are subjects of severe animal abuse (PETA paragraph 1).

Animal dissection labs are an unethical and unnecessary part of the secondary school biology curriculum.
