In the not too distant past, it was customary to dissect frogs, Guinea Pigs and small rabbits in secondary school biology classes.

I find it very unethical to dissect animals in class and it could also be a very disturbing situation for the students. It is also illegal to catch frogs in Malta, let alone dissect them.

I restrict my dissection sessions to using organs. They are easily obtained from any of the local butchers, and at a low cost too.
