"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”"

Is this referring to different countries biology classes? Because in high school we dissected a sheep’s head, a pig fetus, rats, and earth worms.
My science teacher wanted to get us euthanized cats from the shelter to dissect. But the school said no, he was disappointed and shared that with us.

Where did they get hands on a pig foetus
I don’t really know, but they all came sealed in airtight bags that we had to cut open. They had some preservation chemical sealed inside as well, not formaldehyde at the time because it was known to cause cancer. But the smell was something I’ll never forget.
There was enough for all of us to pair up and share one, so it was a lot of pig fetuses. They looked like they were very late in the gestational phase about to be born, because they had all their bits, hooves, eyes… basically fully formed newborns right before birth.
I can only imagine someone had a connection with a slaughter house because of the sheep’s heads as well. Probably things the farm would toss out but made a buck off of selling for dissection to local labs.
