Animal rights organization PETA has released the Kind Piglet, a silicone fetal pig model designed to replace preserved animals in high school biology dissection. The Kind Piglet follows the Kind Frog, a silicone dissection model that PETA’s humane education division, TeachKind Science, distributed to schools through a pilot program during the 2024–2025 school year. © PETAPositioning the model against real specimensPETA frames classroom dissection as both an animal welfare issue and a barrier to science participation. The Kind Piglet is described as less expensive than a preserved specimen and free of the handling requirements that come with chemical preservation. Synthetic and virtual alternatives to animal dissection have circulated for years, including software such as Froggipedia and Expandable Mind, but physical mammalian models designed for hands-on classroom use remain uncommon.
