The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives, and Recommendations, written by Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D. and published by Humane Society Press, examines this issue from a humane and ethical perspective. Balcombe argues that harming animals in the name of education is undesirable, and contends that replacing dissection and other animal uses with alternatives is beneficial not only to the quality of education but to society as a whole.
With a foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall, the book covers topics that will be useful for undergraduates, instructors and professors, and even college administrators. Chapters address subjects such as the quality of life science education, student attitudes about dissection and animals, dissection and harmful live-animal uses in education, and law and policy issues. Each chapter includes a list of recommendations.
The 112-page book is a scholarly work that includes 350 literature citations. You may purchase a copy of the book for $19.95 directly from The Humane Society of the United States. The book can be ordered by emailing us at ari@hsus.org or by calling 301-721-6439.
