After learning that a Girls Engineering Math Science (GEMS) conference at the University of Wisconsin–Fond du Lac planned to include animal dissection in the curriculum, PETA fired off a letter to conference organizers about the cruelty of dissection and the alternatives available. The conference agreed to drop all animal dissection from its programming.

“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
