The millions of animals that are dissected each year in education systems are subjects of severe animal abuse. But is there any problem with the use of animals in education? Lets see how this interesting science facts happen:

Fetal pigs and organs from cows and sheep, often used in dissection labs, come from slaughterhouses and factory farms. Advocacy groups and undercover investigations have well documented the abuse associated with factory farming. Animals are often kept in cramped, unsanitary conditions while enduring painful “routine” procedures (such as debeaking, tail docking, and castration). Investigative reports have revealed animals still living while being dismembered in the mechanical slaughterhouse assembly line.

Undercover investigations have also documented animal abuse at the hands of Class B dealers and biological supply companies. These companies buy, for example, both live and dead cats captured off the streets in Mexico. Animal protection organizations, in response to complaints of disappearing companion animals in Mexico, found that suppliers trapped thousands of cats in residential neighborhoods, cruelly killed them, and shipped the bodies to the U.S. where suppliers sold them to schools for educational purposes. The New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) opposes the surrender of animals by animal shelters and animal control agencies to labs, science and research facilities, or pharmaceutical and educational institutions. In 1983, with the help of thousands of animal activists across the state, we spearheaded a campaign to repeal the 1957 pound seizure law in Massachusetts. The successful campaign resulted in the first and one of the strongest anti-pound seizure laws in the U.S. and protects thousands of lost and abandoned dogs and cats each year from being used in research.
