In science classes all over the world kids dissect pig brains, lamb hearts, cow lungs, frogs, and more. But you know how your science teachers are always saying, “No, don’t take those rocks back in. You have to leave the woods how you found them!” But when you think about it, if you have ever dissected an animal in science class, then your science teacher is the one who is acting like the animals are tools, but NO! Animals are living things just like us. Animals should be treated the same way we are.
Now if you feel strongly about this like I do, you can become an ambassador for AAVS (American Anti-Vivisection league.) According to the AAVS website “The mission of AAVS is to end the use of animals in science through education, advocacy, and the development of alternative methods. Founded in 1883, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) is the first non-profit animal advocacy and educational organization in the United States dedicated to ending experimentation on animals in research, testing, and education. We work with individuals, students and parents, educators, grassroots groups, corporate and government decision makers, and members of the scientific community.”
I think that AAVS has a good purpose, because it protects animals and tries to stand up for their rights!
