Despite my pleasure in trolling vegans, now that we have relatively high quality digital simulations of dissection, it really is time to do away with animal dissection, especially when the chemicals used to keep them in shape to be used aren't exactly good for the students.
I don't object to animals being used educationally like that, when there's no better alternative, but it just isn't the only way to achieve the same level of knowledge now. Every high school I'm aware of in the US has something like an ipad, tablet, chromebook, or even full laptops. It's time to phase out dissection.

Dissection is an essential part of teaching about anatomy. It's not necessary in highschool, where 95% of the students will never need it, but in higher Ed it's absolutely required and digital dissection is not a replacement (but still a valuable supplemental teaching tool)

In principle I agree. In practice most of the digital dissection sims are pretty bad.

I had to dissect a bunch of things in high school: a frog, a pig fetus, a cow heart, a cat... I'm still not entirely sure what the intent was. "Yup, the brain is in the right spot. Always good to check, just in case."
If they want to teach kids knife skills they should do so in home ec. At least make something edible.

This was me with a rat and a fetal pig, but never a frog. Definitely an interesting experience.

We only send the death row frogs to classrooms. They know what they did, and they deserve it.
Frogs are wonderful! You'd say Frogs are helpful! You'd exclaim
Well you know why they're all so fucking nice? Because the bad ones answer to US, The International Law Enforcin Frog Clobberers
You're welcome!

They are edible and actually taste good. (The frogs, not the students).
not once you soak them in formaldehyde
Students are yummy too, but they're harder to catch
