The only thing I couldn't dissect in high school was a shark for marine biology. It was so nasty, you could smell them in the halls all through the science lab.
Heck, my friend was in nursing school IN LIBERAL BOSTON and dissected cats. No fuss there...
Typical irrational liberal outrage... kill all the babies you want, but don't you dare dissect one cat in the name of science or abort one Afghanistani pygmy goat (the animal rights outrage a few years ago, used for hats like the one Hamid Karzai wears...) and you're just this side of Hitler.
