This paper discusses the harmful and fatal use of non-human animals in education and a student’s right to an ethical educational experience. It argues and demonstrates that there is no educational reason why non-human animals need to be harmed or killed in order to impart knowledge. References are made to alternatives that exist and which can be as or more effective than the traditional methods of using and harming or killing animals. It calls for a change in attitude on the part of teachers and students in order to institute this change.
