Small custom slaughterhouss would be your best bet. They save the internal organs and package them for their customers. Many of them don't want them and the butcher could arrange for you to buy one from a customer who doesn't want it.

Call 800 goog411 its a free call, then say your city and state. Ask for butchers this will even give you the butchers in big super markets or super walmarts if its for photography you want to talk to them and explain the project. That way you can get the juiciest bloodiest heart they have maybe even have them leave some of the arteries and things on it.

Butcher or slaughterhouse are reasonable choices. I'd suggest going to a research lab, especially if you live near a college campus. Animals (rabbit, dog, pig, sometimes cow) are often used in experimentations - usually these animals are euthanized anyway, so there is no reason why you couldn't take some photographs of the heart. Email professors - you can usually find a directory online.
Good luck!

Take a knife, find a pig, and chop off the head, don't hit the heart because you probably want it in-tact. Or go to a butcher, yeah.

Slaughterhouses or butchers have these or can get them.
Some people like to eat them, some get them as pet-food.
There is a market for hearts.

a butcher, or even the big supermarkets - they always have sheep and pig hearts. and they're dirt cheap.

a slaughterhouse would be an easier place to get internal organs from. or you could try your local butcher or chinese meat market(more accessible).
