Use THIS Frog to Save Frogs

Have you ever had a frog dissection assignment in a science class? Did you feel worried about handling or inhaling potentially carcinogenic and toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, grossed out, or uncomfortable? That gut feeling was your intuition telling you that something was wrong. Students shouldn’t have to choose between making a grade and violating their code of ethics. When teachers have students cut up animal corpses, those students can actually become less interested in science.

Frogs used in dissection aren’t collected in nature after they’ve died—they’re taken from their homes, which harms ecosystems, and killed for these lessons. But times are changing. Enter the Kind Frog™, the groundbreaking, hyperrealistic, synthetic frog model that you can cut into, disembowel, and poke around inside—no breeding, abducting, killing, or cutting into animals necessary! Every teacher, principal, parent, and student can get behind that, right? 

The Kind Frog beats using dead frogs because it saves schools money and actually looks more like a colorful living frog than a single-use cadaver—which has pale, lifeless guts that are hard to tell apart from each other.

TeachKind Science is proud to offer the Kind Frog, an ethically dissectible silicone-based frog.

And best of all, the Kind Frog avoids the cruelty that’s found at places that supply schools with dead animals to dissect, such as Bio Corporation, where PETA documented that workers drowned live pigeons, froze live turtles, and injected live crayfish with latex. No, thx.

Each year in the U.S., at least 3 million frogs are cruelly killed, dissected by students, and thrown into the trash. Not only does this practice pose unnecessary health risks and discourage some students from pursuing careers in science, it’s also an unreliable teaching method! It fosters callousness, too. In dissection labs, teachers have juggled dead frogs and students have made dead cats “dance,” jumped rope with intestines, and used dead animals to prank peers. Not really what you want in a school, is it?

Designed by teachers for teachers, the Kind Frog is poised to replace the millions of living frogs taken directly from their homes in nature each year and killed for dissection in schools across the U.S.

More students than ever are opting out of cutting apart animals in class, and some avoid enrolling in courses with dissection labs altogether, proving that new technology (not dead bodies) is the future. Use the Kind Frog to spare frogs, improve your learning, and ditch toxic chemicals—a win-win-win situation if we’ve ever heard of one.

Animals deserve better, and so do students! We want to partner with your school so that students there can use the Kind Frog. E-mail us at [email protected] to learn more, and use this guide to end animal dissection at your school.
