The end of the school year is approaching, and we know the last thing that you want to do before summer break is chop up dead animals in class. Am I right?
It’s never been easier to cut out dissection at your school! Several states already offer a dissection-choice policy, which means that you get to opt out of animal dissections and take part in a humane alternative assignment instead.
If your state doesn’t offer a dissection-choice policy, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide to asking for an alternative, including petitions to help you get started. Just e-mail us at peta2@peta2.com if you need any help.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Animals have feelings and can feel pain to!!! We humans act like we are so much more superior and more important than all other animals but truthfully we are the worst animals alive you don’t see lions or wolves slitting animals throats or torturing other animals they just kill them an get it over with!!!
