Fighting for Alternatives to Dissection at Marquette! April 5, 2009

Written by Danika Rahn, a student at Marquette University

I am helping to lead a campaign to implement a Student Choice Policy at Marquette University regarding classes that use unnecessary animal experiments. I wanted to help with the campaign because the root of human kindness is being an advocate for living beings other than us. The issue of performing cruel tests on animals is devastating to me, because it is outdated and unnecessary.

With the help of close friends and a peta2 crew of four members, we have collected over 1,200 petition signatures on campus—more than 10% of the student population!



The petitions are guiding a piece of legislation in the Marquette Student Government that will implement a Student Choice Policy in all undergraduate courses, giving students a written, verbalized choice of being exempted from unnecessary animal testing in class. I hope to be an advocate for giving Marquette students a choice in whether or not they want a more educational, moral alternative to ineffective experiments.
