In many shows set in a High School, there is an episode where everyone must dissect an animal (usually frogs) in science class. A character (usually an Animal Lover) will question whether it is morally acceptable to kill the creatures For Science!. The teacher will usually inform the objecting character that not doing the dissection will result in a failing grade. There are two standard directions the show can go at this point: If the show follows the Science Is Bad trope, the character will conclude that it is wrong to kill the specimens, and they will find or create an opportunity to free them, accept the failing grade or, in the more extreme examples, actually convert the teacher and the rest of the class to their stand. If the show is using Honor Before Reason, the main character will refuse to kill their own critter and accept the failing grade, but will not attempt to free any others, concluding that it is wrong to impose one's own values on others. A variation of the trope is the student trying to save the class pet, in which the animal was never in danger of dissection and the objecting student feels it's wrong to keep it in captivity at all (or possibly because they mistakenly believe it is in danger). For a number of reasons, the dissection variation is mostly a Discredited Trope. The character may go on to join an Animal Wrongs Group. See also Escaped Animal Rampage. |

Spit Take | |
| Free the Frogs / int_643659d4 | comment |
"Dog's Day Afternoon" had Wanda concerned when one of her fairy friends mentions that her godkid switched places with a frog, citing dissection. Cue Spit Take and Oh, Crap! and the fairy friend poofing away to save her godkid. The two later reappear as Wanda tries to find Timmy (who had switched places with Doidle, Vicky's pet dog; It Makes Sense in Context), who is lecturing the frog the girl had switched with. | |

Running Gag | |
| Free the Frogs / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Dewey frees the class hamster Bernard, not to make any statement about keeping Bernard in captivity, but to protect it from a classmate who planned to torture the rodent when it was his turn to take it home. This starts a lengthy, multi-season Running Gag, with the hamster's ball rolling by in several scenes (eventually making it to Canada!). | |
