Frog Dissection

In class we dissected a bull frog, we had to make a slit in the shape of the letter T. After pulling back the muscles and skins we saw the liver and intestines and other organs. We noticed that the heart was a small gray circle at the top which looked very small compared to it's livers. After we located every organ we were suppose to we had to answer questions and locate organs on a picture. This dissection was very interesting to me, at first I was not comfortable with the whole idea that there is a dead animal with guts sticking out in front of me but after a while I got used to it. The idea of killing frogs just to look at how they function was not appealing to me because we're hurting other animals for our benefits. Others may say it is the best way to learn but I beg to differ, if there were a different species out there would you want them killing you just to look at your body? This way of learning is very easy for me because it is a hands-on activity but i dint agree with the fact of killing animals.
