Exciting computer programs (where a student can not only take an animal apart, but also put them back together further enforcing the learning process), realistic or larger-than-life models, films, and diagrams are all effective ways to teach anatomy and physiology without harming animals. "Visifrog," a wonderful computer simulation of a frog dissection, teaches the structure and function of various organs. Students who object to dissection may call IDA at 415-388-9641 for advice or information.

That depends whether you generally use your towed vehicle a lot when RVing, or not. There's also the extra insurance cost to consider. You will have to unhook almost every night to park. A towed car with very low ground clearance or towed on a dolly is a considerable negative. However, most of our guests who leave the toad at home end up regretting it. See similar questions...

Frogs and other small animals area often bred by animal supply houses. Frogs are also captured in the wild, which causes serious environmental problems. In Bangladesh, the mass exportation of frogs for food and experiments has resulted in an overpopulation of crop-damaging insects that the frogs once controlled. Cats and dogs can be taken from pounds and shelters, or rounded up or trapped by dealers and bunchers (see pet theft section). See similar questions...

Animals bred or captured for dissection can suffer from the trauma of confinement, inadequate food and care, crude transport, and inhumane killing methods. Live frogs are not always accurately "pithed" (their spinal cords severed), so they are sometimes cut open while still conscious. See similar questions...

Dissection is not only unnecessary, it runs the risk of desensitizing students to the suffering of others and teaches them that animals can be used and discarded without respect for their lives. In Great Britain, dissection is being phased out of school curricula, and the right of students not to dissect is being established and upheld in the United States as well (including California). By using only humane teaching methods, instructors can teach science and ethics simultaneously. See similar questions...

Compares to 500,000t taken by Moreton Mill. Given that some farmers have left cane, some lands have been sold, some lands have been optioned we have probably lost 200,000t production. BioCane aims to increase tonnage with time as other lands will find returns from cane attractive. BioCane will lease its own lands where necessary to increase supply. See similar questions...

Caning is a technique that originated in glasswork. A cane is a cylindrical log of clay that has a design running through it, so that when you slice the log, each slice shows the design. For example, suppose you make a log of black clay, then wrap a sheet of white clay around it, then wrap a final sheet of black around that. See similar questions...

If you are walking with a limp, your physician may recommend an assistive device. You can damage other joints with an abnormal gait (walking) pattern. A cane helps distribute some force away from the involved leg and reduce pain. Ang-Lee, Michael, M.D., Jonathan Moss, M.D., PhD, and Chun-Su Yuan, M.D., PhD.

Each state has a law that says blind people using canes or dogs have the same rights of public access as the sighted. This means that blind people can take their canes and dogs into public buildings, businesses, offices, restaurants, theaters, roller skating arenas, bowling alleys, amusement parks, on busses, trains, planes, and other public places.

Generally, a sick or injured toad should be taken care of by a vet that deals with exotic animals or to a wildlife rescue center or similar facility. A search can be done via www.google.com to find local help. You can also try to use this link to find a wildlife rehabilitator near you, though they don't have listings for all areas yet: http://www.wildlife-international.org/EN/public/emergency/emergencyrehab.html . I also recommend checking out my friends at frogdaze. See similar questions...

NEVER release a frog or toad into the wild unless the species is NATIVE to that area. This is very important. Non-native species have been known to flourish in new areas and take over, which can lead to disaster, such as the case of the bufo marinus in Australia and let's not forget the American Bullfrog in the US and many other examples.

Animal dissection was banned from schools in Argentina in 1987 and in Slovakia in 1994. In 1993, Italy enacted a law that recognizes the right of conscientious objectors to refuse to participate in animal experimentation. As of 2005, three quarters of Italian universities have abolished the use of live animal experiments for educational purposes according to a recent report at the 2nd InterNICHE Conference in Norway.
