My problem is with it being in high school ...on impressionble kids. I don't like the impression it gives them ...that 'companion animals' are just lab rats.

Once they're dead they're not companion animals. Of course you're also making the assumption that those cats were EVER companion animals. They could have been feral/ strays (pests), they could have been barn cats (working animals), even if they were pets their owner might have given them to science (not everybody worships dead bodies).

I notice you picked on lab rats, but some people keep rats as companion animals, you're clearly showing specist bigotry favoring animals you want as companions over others.
