"Children are considered pretty sturdy up here in the North.
During the whole giraffe debate my Faroese housemate was like “I don’t see why people are so offended by children seeing an anatomy lesson. On the Faroe Islands school children are shown how to kill a sheep”"

It appears that the Danish are a rather rich if they can afford to cut open African megafauna for educational purposes. I did this with frogs and fish in school (Germany)
I remember the giraffe was genetically unfit and had no takers in the international breeding programme. They needed the room for another animal.
Frogs are endangered species in Denmark, so we never did that.
This is such remarkable logic lol. I guess the other benefit is that lions are more informative, but i bet they’re more traumatising for kids since they’re closer to human physiology. That said - not a big deal. Face your fears and all that.
I (UK) did sheep eyeballs and must have missed the frog lesson, or maybe it was reserved for A-level students.
A medical student i lived with said she had human disecction within the first month of her undergraduate degree. Like the first two weeks. I guess it helps weed people out / lure them in.
