| Dear John, Did you know that millions of animals, including cats, frogs, and pigs, are still commonly dissected in science classrooms? It’s a practice that is cruel, wasteful, and unnecessary. We need your help to end these outdated exercises with a special gift today, as the new school year gets underway. Animalearn, a program of AAVS, works every day to help teachers and school administrators discover the lasting benefits of humane science education. There are tremendous benefits to using non-animal dissection resources, including: - 💟 Saves animal lives and offers a compassionate learning pathway for caring students.
- ✅ Creates a safer learning experience for students (no exposure to harmful chemicals or dangerous lab tools).
- 💡 Provides excellent realistic and interactive learning experiences using innovative tools such as AR/VR headsets and/or lifelike animal models.
As an excerpt from a National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) Science Safety Blog written by Dr. Ken Roy and published earlier this year notes, “Virtual dissection provides a more ethical, cost-effective, and potentially safer means to study anatomy.” Fortunately, Animalearn offers a thorough list of virtual dissection resources, as well as hands-on models and AR/VR learning tools, through its one-of-a-kind FREE lending library, The Science Bank. Please help us promote Animalearn’s SOLUTION to the problem of dissection with a gift today. Your thoughtful contribution will help to create kinder classrooms! Sincerely, Nicole Green
Director of Animalearn P.S. If you donate $35 or more toward humane science education now, we will be happy to send you this handy tote bag that projects a positive message of compassion!  |
