The whole point is to shock, to create a talking point, and no better person to do that than Miley's little sister, Noah Cyrus.
Fair play to the 15-year-old who is using her platform to promote the welfare of animals via PETA.
The poster reads: "I am not a classroom experiment. Neither are cats, frogs, rats, pigs, or other animals killed for dissection. Please choose not to dissect. #DissectionKills."
Speaking about raising awareness for the millions of animals dissected each year in American classrooms, she said: "It kind of was weird being on the table and the feeling of about to be cut open. The thought of that happening to an animal is terrible… if you feel weird dissecting something, say no... I love all animals so much, people should realize they don’t have to cut into something to learn about it. You should ask your teacher for other humane alternatives. You'll learn so much more off of the computer. If you have the other option, why not take it?"

I went my entire stint in education without interfering with an animal (although there is a vague recollection of chasing a cow's eyeball across the classroom floor). Did you feel under pressure to dissect anything?
