And once again I ask, why is a cat that was PTS at the HS any worse than a fetal pig? That's what we used in my HS. (Of course, I graduated early so I never actually had to cut up a cat, or anything for that matter...)
I don't think there's any difference. I HATED cutting up the fetal pig... and I had to do it TWICE - once in highschool and again in college. ugh. I never have used the information, and never will.

I feel as if this is a lesson better left for a student that seriously wants to pursue a career where this information would be beneficial. It is really hard for me accept that this might have any useful purpose in life... all I can remember is how awful I felt when out teacher instructed us to skin the pig.... that was the absolute wosrst thing I've ever had to do. So now, if ever I need to skin something, I know how to. Gee, yippie. That's so very useful.
