“Dissections are an old Danish tradition going back 400 years,” says Sandøe, “and taking a trip to see something like this is a typical thing to do with school-aged children in the holidays – it can open their eyes to the world of science.”
A straw poll of Danish friends confirms this view. One tells me about a school trip to see a wolf getting dissected. Another tells me that his nine-year-old niece is such a fan, she asked to see a snake slit open for her birthday. Animal autopsies are so popular in Denmark that institutions often have to hold two-a-day in school holidays to meet demand.
