my life is filled with dead animals.

i washed huge cow femurs in the lab sink today.
(almost threw up)

i noticed several [human] body shaped bags
in the anatomy freezer.
(....)

i dissected a little yellow finch.
you make one clean cut down it's belly,
and then slice off all the skin & feathers.
goal=protect/extract all bones.

now i'm working on a 10 pg research paper on the bushmeat trade:
ECONOMIC COMMODITY OR ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS?

I don't think I could ever dissect as many animals as you do (or any really). You must have a strong stomach!

haha i've only dissected 2!
and both times, i almost threw up.

some other people can do it so casually. this one girl just rips the dead animal apart with her hands..
