Hedlund CS, Hosgood G, Naugler S. Surgical education: attitudes toward animal use in teaching surgery at Louisiana State University. Journal of Veterinary Medical Education. 2002 ;29(1):50-55

Concerns over the use of animals in teaching have lead to a reduction in the number of live animal laboratories. A survey of 275 students and faculty was conducted to characterize their attitude toward the use of animals in teaching surgery. Respondents favored live animal use. They believed that model laboratories were helpful in learning aseptic technique and suturing skills but less helpful in learning tissue handling, dissection, hemostasis, or anesthesia.
