PAOV – There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it.
Cette pétition prend de l'ampleur sur Change.org, souhaitez-vous la signer? Elle demande que le Collège de Langara imite la plupart des établissements de son genre et cesse de pratiquer des dissections et des vivisections sur des chats et des lapins.
Dr. Lane Trotter, Ms. Margaret Heldman, Anoush Dadgar, Sandy Connors, Dr. Mario Moniz de Sa: An End to the Use of Domestic Cats and Rabbits in Dissection at Langara College
Animal Defense and Anti-Vivisection Society of BC
Sign the petition
In spite of concerns raised by humane education advocates, Langara Community College in Vancouver, B.C., Canada is planning to use animals, including domestic cats and rabbits, as part of its Biology 2350 Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class. The use of animals in dissection has been shown to desensitize students to the suffering of animals and erode their natural sense of empathy, compassion, respect for life and critical thinking. Some students even go on to avoid studies and careers in life sciences altogether because of harmful animal use.
While more progressive institutions around the world have adopted humane alternatives to animal dissection, Langara College continues to use archaic, outdated teaching methods.
It's time for Langara College to bring an end to its harmful and dated use of animals in dissection.
