O.k. here's what I want to know:
I volunteer at an animal shelter, and when my boss was showing me around the place last week, she showed me the freezers where they put the deceased animals. When she explained them to me, she called them the "cadaver boxes". What I wanted to know is if shelters send the animals they put to sleep to colleges and science labs where the poor things contribute to some greater good. The reason I'm asking this is because I forget to ask the people that work up there while I'm volunteering during the day, and then I get home and remember my question, obviously too late to ask anyone. I thought maybe someone on here would be able to tell me what I wanted to know. Sorry it's such a morbid subject, but I would feel a little better if I knew for sure that there was some sort of good coming from the mindless killing of perfectly healthy dogs and cats. (Doesn't "cadaver" imply the use of a body for scientific research?). Thanks.
