"Being a student in said class, I am overwhelmingly disappointed in the negativity that is directed, not only to the anatomy program, but to our school as a whole," said one student. "Studies show that classroom animal dissection can foster callousness toward living beings, and these gruesome 'jump rope' videos are a particularly sad example," PETA Senior Director of Youth Outreach and Campaigns Marta Holmberg said.Ĭhancellor said the Churchill students are upset that they’re being portrayed as being disrespectful.
The animal activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has condemned the videos. The cat had a microchip in it and the SPCA shelter. "If we can find a lesson that is equally effective as this one and doesn't offend people in the process, we're going to call it a win-win," she said. (NEWS10) A Pennsylvania cat traveled over 200 miles to Fort Plain, New York after being found by the Montgomery County SPCA.
After the video surfaced, Chancellor said the high school will no longer allow that particular lesson in the classroom. "The teacher participated in this same lesson in her college courses at Texas A&M."Ĭhancellor said neither the students nor the teacher will be disciplined. The operator of a cat shelter in B.C.'s West Kootenay is frantically looking for a new home for the furry felines before being ordered to move out to make way for a big flood prevention project. "The lesson was intended to demonstrate and explore the strength of the organ,” she said. NEISD spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said the demonstration was not meant to be degrading or disrespectful in any way. The two videos were shared to the social media platform SnapChat, and showed students jumping rope with the intestines of dissected cats in a Churchill classroom. SAN ANTONIO – Videos showing students purportedly from San Antonio using cat intestines to jump rope were shot at Winston Churchill High School, a Northeast Independent School District spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday afternoon.
