Rogue No. 7

Doggrell, Sheila A.
(Dept of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Auckland.)

Doggrell (besides testing heart drugs on rats) has been active with Alisa J. Surman

"studying the effects of BAAM, Alprenolol and Atenolol on the responses of the rat left atrium to Isoprenaline".

ARTL page 288 and 301

"In the 1960s almost four thousand deaths resulted from Isoprenaline aerosol inhalers... the effects had not been predicted by animal experiments, and even after the dangers were revealed it was impossible to reproduce the damage in animals."
- BBC debate, Vivisection is Scientific Con, June 22 1987

ARTL pages 26-27

Shows a chart produced by Dr Roy Kupsinel which highlights the major differences between rats and humans. Included is the faster elimination of drugs from rats bodies than occurs in humans.

Rogue No. 8

Faull, Richard
(Dept of Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of Auckland)

Faull, Richard

(The Daily News, 25/8/93)

Faull (in conjunction with M. Dragunow) was the recipient of $81,440 for two years to enable him to

"transplant brain cells from rat fetuses into adult rats treated so they have Huntingdon's disease"

(Evening Post, September 27 1993, page 17.)

"Over the years Faull has received more than $2 million in research funding grants... He would like his next project to involve transplanting human fetal brain cells into rats."
- Daily News, August 25 1993, page 10.)

ARTL centrefold pages 164-165

The centrefold of ARTL presents an easily understood chart transposed from an address by Professor Pietro Croce which outlines in simple language the policy of scientific anti-vivisectionism which is being adhered to by thousands of today's doctors in the abolitionist movement. It demonstrates, making crystal clear at a glance that:

  • Active experiments (causing the disease to study it) are rejected on scientific grounds because an introduced disease is not the same as a spontaneous one.
  • This makes all attempts of extrapolation impossible - whether inter-species (between different species) or intra speciem (between the same species).
