Anatomically correct color-coded organs

This makes it easy for students to identify and study the internal organs—including the lungs, heart, stomach, spleen, pancreas, intestines, liver, gallbladder, ovaries, kidneys, bladder, brain, and more—with a clarity that often isn’t possible with real piglets.

Because Kind Piglet is liquid- and toxin-free, there’s no need for gloves, goggles, or aprons, eliminating the need to purchase additional materials, which can become costly.

Easy clean up

Kind Piglet doesn’t require biohazard-safe disposal because it isn’t stored in or processed with toxic chemicals—so there’s also no odor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why replace real piglets with Kind Piglet?

Every animal is someone. Pigs are smart and affectionate individuals. Mother pigs sing to their piglets while nursing, build soft nests for them to rest, and like to frolic together on sunny days. By choosing Kind Piglet, you are saving animals and teaching students to foster empathy for them rather than to see them as educational tools. Using Kind Piglet is not only humane but also helps students learn mammalian anatomy through an engaging dissection activity that meets their learning objectives.

What if my class typically dissects other mammals? 

The Kind Piglet is a one-to-one replacement for fetal pig dissections but can also be used as a cruelty-free dissection replacement for cats, minks, and rats, allowing for comparison of mammalian anatomy with human anatomy

Is the Kind Piglet reusable? 

Once dissected, Kind Piglet can be used as a teaching model for as long as you’d like! Like a real piglet, the model can only be dissected once but can easily be sutured back together as a post-dissection activity, reused by other classes, or used as a study tool for later in the semester!

What is Kind Piglet made of?

Kind Piglet is made fully of silicone materials. 

Is Kind Piglet recyclable?

Silicone is recyclable in many areas—check your local recycling guidelines.
