Rats!!

Two weeks ago on a sunny afternoon, I did my first dissection. The animal; A white rat. These white rats are bred for the sole purpose of being 'sacrificed' for the sake of us students. I wasn't feeling nausea when I saw the dead rats, but I actually felt afraid that it would come back alive and jumped at me. First we had to choose one rat and then dip it into a Dettol filled bucket. After whirling a few rounds in the bucket, I actually felt excited to dissect it. Practically everyone in the class was excited. The first thing to do was to pin the rat to the dissecting board using our hands but of course we wore gloves except for one girl as she said she was not used to doing things hands gloved. She did the entire dissection experiment bare handed!
