* NOTE: None of the animals used during Pre-Vet
Day were euthanized simply for this purpose. Specimens were
either already on their way to slaughter, or euthanized at a
local no-kill shelter after they failed personality/aggressiveness
tests and were deemed unadoptable. Through a cooperative agreement
between that shelter and Colorado State University, we are able
to use these animals for educational purposes before they are
disposed of. We pride ourselves in treating these animals with
respect while they are in our possession and ask that you do
the same. Thank you.
