RESUMO
The Brazilian Network for Humane Education (RedEH( is an independent and self-managed group comprised of academics from ten different Brazilian states and a number of international collaborators. In 2016, in a concerted effort to change the educational field in Brazil and propagate humane education, RedEH sent a request to the Brazilian National Council for the Control of Animal Experimentation (CONCEA(, asking that harmful animal use in education in professional and undergraduate courses be banned. This was the first formal request for a total replacement of harmful animal use in education in Brazil, and represented a major historic landmark in the advancement of Brazilian science education. This paper presents the full text of the request, as well as outlining its national and international repercussions. The request was supported by InterNICHE and representatives of 18 other international organisations. A major national impact of the request was its recognition by the Federal Council of Veterinary Medicine. With this action, academics and researchers took a potentially revolutionary step in the Brazilian education arena, with regard to advancing and supporting a higher quality, ethical and democratic educational system.

The presence of the multiple renal artery in dogs, supplying the left kidney, has been reported in 12-15%. New surgery technics in the urogenital tract and the utilization of model for renal transplantation are of clinical significance when considering surgery of that kidney. Courses of anatomy directed veterinary medicine and animal anatomy for students of courses of graduation in the areas of agrarian and biological sciences, use anatomical material proceeding from domestic animals in considerable volume. The use of the material of the laboratories of anatomy for studies of frequency of anatomical variations constitutes way of together contribution to the applied areas, such as the surgery and the clinic. The objective of this report is to presentation of the left multiple renal artery case, originating from the ventral portion of the aorta, in female dog cadaver, with two months, formalin-preserved at 10% and with latex colored vascular injected.
A presença de artéria renal múltipla em cães ocorre geralmente do lado esquerdo, em uma freqüência de 12 a 15 %. O avanço de técnicas cirúrgicas no trato urogenital e a utilização de modelos para transplantes renais tornam importante o conhecimento das variações possíveis no que se refere à vascularização dos rins. Cursos de anatomia veterinária e anatomia animal direcionados para estudantes de cursos de graduação nas áreas de ciências agrárias e biológicas, utilizam material anatômico proveniente de animais domésticos em volume considerável. A utilização do acervo dos laboratórios de anatomia para estudos de freqüência de variações anatômicas constitui meio de contribuição junto às áreas aplicadas, tais como a cirurgia e a clínica. O objetivo deste relato é apresentar um caso de artéria renal esquerda dupla, com origem na porção ventral da aorta, em cadáver de cão sem raça definida, com cerca de dois meses de idade, preservado em solução de formol a 10% e com injeção vascular de látex corado.
