Students cannot dissect living beings for study purpose: Education Department
Bengaluru, November 10: From now onwards, the students studying science courses in PUC cannot torture the animals or living beings. Yes, the Pre-University Education Department has issued a circular to all colleges that science students should not dissect the animals and living beings to study anatomy.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal organization advisor Dr Rohit Bhatia had written a letter to the PU Department saying that some animals and insects should not be killed for study purpose as per the Wildlife Protection Act 1972. Taking note of this letter, the PU Education Department has issued the circular to protect the living beings.
In its circular, the department said that the step has been taken to ensure the protection of animals and living beings for the next generation and to control global warming. While teaching the science students on anatomy or biology, the teachers should use modern technology to explain the anatomy in order to protect the biodiversity and the college principals and staffs need to support the decision of the department, it is said.
The science students used to dissect frogs, fish, cockroach and other living beings to understand the digestive system, blood circulation, anatomy and other aspects. But now onwards, they should not use animals or living beings for such studies.
