A shark?! Omg I would've loved that if the shark had died from natural causes.
Our cats were shelter killed

Well I looked online to find out why cats are used & I found this..
Investigations have shown that Class B dealers (licensed animal brokers) obtain cats from a variety of legal and illegal sources including animal shelters, strays and "free to good home" ads.. Some may even prey on pets that are left unattended.. An operation in Mexico was exposed for snatching cats off the street and paying children $1 for each cat caught.. They would then drown them and ship them to the US for dissection in classrooms and labs.. In order to get the cats to classrooms, Class B dealers sell the cats to biological supply companies.. An investigation of a large biological supply company revealed gross negligence.. The company assured the public that they obtained only euthanized cats from shelters, but an undercover investigation revealed that they were obtaining live cats and embalming them.. Gas chambers at the supply house designed to kill three to four cats at a time were filled with 25 to 30 cats.. The cats were removed and forcibly injected with formaldehyde - often while still alive..

I'm in nursing school and haven't had to dissect anything. I have one more year and I don't think we're ever gonna have to dissect anything

My sister took AP biology in high school. She dissected -- cat, dog, shark, fetal pig, guinea pig and a few others.
In college, she dissected a sheep's head. |

Don't nursing students have to watch surgeries on people? Like brain tumors and stuff?

What I couldn't stomach was when we did a pig and had to break the chest and jaw. I literally left and threw up. Prob. didn't help that I had my hair
down that day and when I leaned over it went into the stomach.

I hated dissecting. I let the guys do it.

The biggest thing I dissected so far in one of my college biology labs was a rat... I thought it was so cool, it was like looking inside a mini human being. I
can't believe some people have dissected so many animals. I'm jealous!

Dang all I ever dissected was a frog and squid (then our science teacher made calimari afterwards). Thankfully.
I could never dissect a cat, so I'm going to have to scratch RN off my list of possible change of career options. |

I've dissected all of the above plus cow's eyeballs! I loved that! It was fascinating to slice a huge eyeball in half.

If it makes you feel better, it doesn't look like
a pet cat. It's like a cat on steroids...more like a mountain lion.
