Quotes

There are hundreds of paths to scientific knowledge.  The cruel ones teach us only what we ought not to know.
-George Bernard Shaw

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally OK to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction.
-Professor Charles R.Magel (1920- )

Vivisection is the blackest of all the black crimes that a man is at present committing against God and his fair creation. It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practise elementary compassion towards our fellow creatures.
-Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)

Results from animal tests are not transferable between species, and therefore cannot guarantee product safety for humans...In reality these tests do not provide protection for consumers from unsafe products, but rather they are used to protect corporations from legal liability.
-Herbert Gundersheimer, M.D., member, PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine), Baltimore, Maryland, 1988

Doctors who speak out in favor of vivisection do not deserve any recognition in society, all the more so since their brutality is apparent not only during such experiments, but also in their practical medical lives. They are mostly men who stop at nothing in order to satisfy their ruthless and unfeeling lust for honors and gain.
-Dr. med. Hugo Knecht, Ear, Nose, Throat and Chest Specialist, Linz, October 5, 1909

Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
-George Bernard Shaw (playwright, Nobel 1925)

I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence.
-Mahatma Gandhi (statesman and philosopher)

During my medical education at the University of Basel I found vivisection horrible, barbarous, and above all unnecessary.
-Carl G. Jung (psychologist)
