Following discussions with PETA, the fourth largest public school district in Alabama—Baldwin County Public Schools, which serves almost 29,000 students—adopted a progressive dissection-choice policy allowing compassionate students to choose a humane science lesson instead of being forced to dissect animals. Baldwin joins hundreds of districts nationwide that have implemented similar policies.

“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
