14 DAY TRIAL // Now that a so-called dissection-choice bill has been passed in Connecticut, students in this American state can decide whether they wish to take part in or watch animal dissections, or simply learn about animal anatomy in other ways.
PETA is overjoyed that legislators have finally decided to pass this bill, and says that its campaigns most likely influenced the legislators' opinion on this issue.
“Not only are modern alternatives to dissection more humane, they are also safer (no toxic formaldehyde or dangerous tools), less expensive, and more effective (studies have shown that students who use non-animal methods do better on tests than their peers who dissect).”
“Best of all, they teach kids another important lesson at the same time: respect for life,” PETA says.
The bill is set to become effective on July 1, after it is signed into law by Gov. Dannel Malloy.
