Image showing a masked veterinarian examining a short-haired golden dog, while an assistant—also wearing a mask—gently holds the dog. On the left side of the image, a dark blue rhomboid contains a quote: “[U]sing animals in students’ education caused ethical and moral conflicts that had a negative impact on their emotional well-being; many of these conflicts arose when there was a lack of transparency about animal use or when the harm to animals outweighed the benefits to student learning or animal welfare.” Below the image, in a brown rectangular box, is the citation: Khoddami S, Ritter C, Brunt MW, Ventura BA, Renaud DL, Proudfoot KL.
