I was sophomore and we had to lift their wings. I got some other kid to do it for me. Yes, we did medical experiments on frick'n chickens in 1971!

We also dissected LIVE frogs in the same class. We pithed their spines and pinned their legs and gave them vasoconstrictors and vasodilators and observed what happened to their blood vessels. And yes, I bribed another student to pith that damn frog's spinal cord!
Afterward, we threw them in a bucket.
