Steve-O “Cut Class Not Frogs” Dissection PETA Ad
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 1st, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.
Steve-O, the MTV Jackass star who’s real name is Stephen Glover, is the kind of mentor everyone needed in high school.
He’s joined forces with PETA in an anti-dissecting campaign that advises kids to “Cut Class Not Frogs.”
And who said the jackasses in class never amounted to anything when they grew up.
According to peta.org, “Every year, nearly 6 million animals, including frogs, rats, pigs, and cats” are dissected in classrooms.
Many alternative animal models exist, including frogs and pigs, and science literature indicates that these alternative methods, such as computer software, have been proven either equivalent of superior to the use of live or dead animals to help them understand biology and anatomy.

I agree that the whole dissection thing is a waste, especially at the high school level.
I didn’t learn anything from our 7th grade dissection and got much greater understanding of physiology and biology through college and grad school courses-which didn’t involve any dissection, but did involve the genocide of several fruit flies.
