However, do you think it is necessary that high school students, even if they are in an honors program, dissect cats?

Yes I do, maybe not necessarily cats, but something (rat, pig, rabbit, etc.) That's what anatomy is.

You think I'm too harsh?

[Cagey]

No, not too harsh at all because you said "maybe not necessarily cats".

Where do they get these cats? Are they cats that are euthanized at animal shelters?

Why not a DOG....a german shepard....how about a seeeing eye dog? Would it be wrong then? Well..it must be ...since they use cats....I'd like to see high schools use dogs ..... if using cats is so necessary. Hypocrits.
