I agree with everyone. It is totally rude and selfish to kill a cat for educational purposes only. On the other hand, I think that they should use DEAD cat's bodies for educational purposes, IF the cat was NOT killed for it. I am a vegiterian and I do oppose to killing animals just for food, but that is just my opinion. But food could be understandable because it is for our needs, but fashion is just horrible. It is totally unacceptable that animals can be killed so people can be rich and look beautiful and stay in with the fashion statement. Anyway, I think animals deserve the same treatment as us humans for we are animals too. I think I would never disect an animal more because it would get me sick. This year we must disect animals for the first time. I already spoke to my teacher and he isn't going to have me do it. Everyone keeps asking me why I will not do it and others will even make fun of me at times because I am the only one in the grade not doing it (so far). So I agree with everyone, in a way, especially Naomi. Lut said it should not be done in high school, well this is seventh grade! As people are disecting at lower and lower ages, the animals are getting killed. We are only doing frogs, but that makes it even more hard for me because I love all reptiles and amphibians.
