Monash University in Australia conducts completely unecessary experiments on living rabbits as part of undergraduate science classes. Untrained students are given scalpels and instructed to cut the throats of drugged, but still living, rabbits.
Students should never be given the option of cutting up living animals when viable and humane alternatives are readily available. There is no educational or moral justification for these classes, unless Monash University wants to teach students that living animals are ‘things’ that can be abused and killed, then discarded in the garbage when they are no longer needed.
The majority of medical schools in the United States, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, have replaced their use of live animals in physiology classes with humane and effective non-animal teaching methods. There is no reason Monash should be lagging so far behind.
