*UPDATE FEBRUARY 2009*
We are overjoyed to announce that Monash University have confirmed that the live rabbit dissections are not taking place this year. The classes have been replaced with a humane non animal alternative.
Thank you so much to everyone who sent in objections, took part in protests, or contributed to the campaign in any way. This huge victory for the rabbits could not have been achieved without you!
However, the campaign is not over yet. Monash University are refusing to stop ALL live animal dissections.
This means that there is nothing to stop the university resuming these experiments again in a few years, or using other animals in similar experiments. Monash has even indicated that there are other live animal experiments planned for this year.
Until we can get a guarantee from Monash that they are putting an end to ALL live animal experiments in the classroom, the campaign will continue. Please join this Monash Kills facebook group to receive the latest information about what you can do to stop live animal dissections at Monash University.

Monash University conducts completely unecessary live experiments on rabbits as part of undergrad science classes. Untrained students are given scalpels and instructed to cut the throats of drugged, but still living, rabbits.
Students should never be given the option of cutting up living animals when viable and humane alternatives are readily available. There is no educational or moral justification for these classes, unless Monash University wants to teach students that living animals are ‘things’ that can be abused and killed, then discarded in the garbage when they are no longer needed.
The majority of medical schools in the United States, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, have replaced their use of live animals in physiology classes with humane and effective non-animal teaching methods. There is no reason Monash should be lagging so far behind
You can help stop Monash University animal abuse.
