Cat Dissection

(Santa Fe, New Mexico) The tree-hugging animal rights extremists at Santa Fe High School have convinced the rest of the student body that cats used in dissections for science classes are "stolen from the streets and even embalmed while still alive." Therefore, future cat dissections will be done by computer simulation.

Cats are definitely coming from the streets. According to this story, about 2,000 a year in the city of Akron, OH, alone. It's incorrect to say they are stolen, though. They're strays. And they're not embalmed, just killed and incinerated.

In mapping communities of knowledge, it seems that Santa Fe High School is located somewhere in the smoky suburbs of truth.
