See, there are alternatives to vivisection, they were created by compassionate people who understand that the cruelty against animals cannot teach the students well. It's not only about giving to the children the pure knowledge, it's also about creating the human beings, complete and integer who will become our future. We need kind, compassionate people to inherit the earth...

Thank you Rebecca. This is fantastic news. Also very pleasant for the first story I read to be positive anti-cruelty for a change. I hope many if not all teaching institutions will adopt this method and have these alternatives available so that in the end vivisection won't be an option and eventually in the future people will just believe we were a bit backward and barbaric 'in the past'.
