Following discussions with PETA, Baltimore City Public Schools adopted a progressive dissection-choice policy that allows compassionate students to opt out of cruel classroom animal dissection and use humane non-animal methods instead. To help facilitate implementation of the new policy, PETA donated virtual dissection software and computer equipment to the district and co-led training sessions for teachers.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
