Animal rights: The Suicide of a Movement

Vivisection is a violation of human rights

A health service based on valid research is a basic human right for which we pay our taxes. A growing movement of thousands of doctors, scientists, nurses, (soon to be joined by lawyers and politicians) claim vivisection is totally useless and that its misleading results prove counter-productive and damaging to human health. Vivisection is carried out by multinational corporations that rule the world in the greatest deception and swindle of modern times. It is supported by many vested interests: The animal breeders, manufacturers of cages, restraining devices, animal feed, surgical instruments etc. Vivisectors receiving research grants base their entire careers on animal experiments.

Wivisection can prove anything (depending on who pays the bill)

Vivisection can be used to prove that cigarettes cause cancer, or they do not cause cancer. By selecting the appropriate species anything can be proved by vivisection. In Great Britan prescribed drugs cause over 10,000 known adverse effects annually. In USA eight percent of children are now born with birth defects traced back to the use of medical drugs. (All safety-tested on animals.) But no other species can be considered an experimental model of any other animal species - Humans included. The billions of dollars wasted on vivisection could be used to improve social conditions, reduce malnourishment, unemployment, pollution. Health could be improved through exercise, diet, education, valid research therapies and treatments, organised supervised water, music and other therapies, including social activities for the elderly. Whilst vivisection is a method based on error for profit which continues to damage and kill thousands of people, the medical research establishment is stepping up it's propaganda and publicity (ANZCCART) and extending its already unscrupulous media censorship. The key to health... prevention... means collapse of the entire vivisection empire. It is a human right that vivisection is abolished... and soon... before it wrecks the planet - and all its inhabitants.

"If we were to stop animal experimentation tomorrow, everyone would be healthier."
- Dr M. Mansfield QC M.A. M.B. B. Chir., F.P. Cert. Cert G.A.M. President of Doctors in Britain Against Animal Experiments - on medical and scientific grounds.

In horror and disbelief future generations will view today's approach to health as loathsome and barbaric for its disregard for the rights of human beings and its cruelty to animals.
