 Dear University of Bristol.
  My name is Jake Flaherty, a student at Birmingham Covington School in Michigan, USA. I am here to complaint about the fact that we have classes where we dissect animals. Lots of animals, like pigs, for example, are innocent. Let's say, you, a pig, are having a happy life. You were just born, and you get plenty of food and water. There is lots of mud and you are very happy. Then the farmer comes in and kills you abruptly. That's what we do to examine the inside of a pig then throw it away. Can't we make models? Haven't they suffered enough? Diagrams? I think pigs and other species with be endangered then extinct because of this. We need to stop. It's an unnecessary reason to kill!






I found this out when I went to a musuem where they had a bunch of animals on display, and parts of animals. It came to the fact that I found out the ugly truth. This means a lot to me. I love animals, and I think they should be respected.

I do not think we need dissection. But we need the class. Some people think it does minor damage, but how would you like it if humans were just killed to be taken apart. You could be a victim! It hurts innocent animals. So I think that dissecting should be banned. Not the class, though. I emailed all my contacts and 70% of them say they want dissecting banned, but not the class. I think this is a good amount of people, so I think you should ban dissecting a killing animals. I know some of them you don't kill, but most you do. You could learn and not damage the ecosystem. I think you should ban dissecting.

Sincerely, Jake F.
P. S. Have a nice day.
