I am NO fan of PETA but I would NOT feel comfortable dissecting a cat, being a life-time cat lover. Just wouldn't happen. It's personal preference, not politics, and she is entitled to opt out.

I am NO fan of PETA but I would NOT feel comfortable dissecting a cat, being a life-time cat lover. Just wouldn't happen. It's personal preference, not politics, and she is entitled to opt out.

From what I read in the article she is NOT entitled to opt out. If she were entitled to opt out then this would not be a problem. It appears from the article that it is a class requirement.

If you would feel bad about dissecting a cat I would suggest that you check any biology classes you might take to see if its a required element. If it is, don't expect your squeamishness to exempt you from the class requirements and give you a free pass.
