NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU RECYCLE THE FAKE DEBATE IN THE DAILY
MAIL, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE USELESS, IMBECILE "ANIMAL
RIGHTISTS" FROM SHAC / ALF MUDDY THE ISSUE AND DIVERT PUBLIC AWARENESS
FROM SCIENTIFIC TRUTH, STILL YOU WILL NEVER GET PAST PAGES NINE TO
ELEVEN OF "IMPERATRICE NUDA / SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT" BY HANS
RUESCH, AS QUOTED BELOW:

The following is extracted from pages 9 to 11 of "Imperatrice Nuda/
Slaughter of the Innocent" by Hans Ruesch, 1976:

============================================================

"The Great Drug Deception" by Dr Ralph Adam Fine (Stein and Day, New
York, 1972) is just one of the many books published in the last decade
on the subject of dangerous and often lethal drugs, but it achieved no
practical results. Health authorities, as well as the public,
stubbornly refused to take cognizance of the fact that all those drugs
had been okayed and marketed after having been proved safe for
animals. Actually it is unfair to single out just a few dangerous
drugs, since there are thousands of them.

Of course the fallacy works both ways, precluding the acceptance of
useful drugs.

There is the great example of penicillin - if we want to consider this
a useful drug.

Its discoverers said they were fortunate. No guinea pigs were
available for the toxicity tests, so they used mice instead.

Penicillin kills guinea pigs.

But the same guinea pigs can safely eat strychnine,

one of the deadliest poisons for humans

- but not for monkeys.

Certain wild berries are deadly for human beings,

but birds thrive on them.

A dose of belladona that would kill a man

is harmless for rabbits and goats.

Calomelan doesn't influence the secretion of bile in dogs,
but can treble it in man.

The use of digitalis - the main remedy for cardiac patients and the
saviour of countless lives the world over -

was retarded for a long time because it was fiRst tested on dogs,

in which it dangerously raises blood pressure.

And chloroform is so toxic to dogs that for many years this valuable
anesthetic was
not employed on patients.

On the other hand a dose of opium that would kill a man

is harmless to dogs and chickens.

Datura and henbane are poison for man,

but food for the snail.

The mushroom *amanita phalloides*, a small dose of which can wipe out
a whole human family,

is consumed without ill effects by the rabbit, one of the most common
laboratory animals.

A porcupine can eat in one lump without discomfort as much opium as a
human addict smokes in two weeks, and wash it down with enough prussic
acid to poison a regiment of soldiers.

The sheep can swallow enormous quantities of arsenic,

once the murderers' favourite poison.

Potassium cyanide, deadly for us,

is harmless for the owl,

but one of our common field pumpkins can put a horse into a serious
state of agitation.

Morphine, which calms and anesthetizes man,
causes maniacal excitement in cats and mice,

but dogs can stand doses up to 20 times higher than man.

On the other hand, our sweet almonds can kill foxes and chickens,

and our common parsley is poison to parrots...........

There are enough such instances to fill a book - all proving that it
would be difficult to find a more absurd and less scientific method of
medical research (than animal experimentation).

Moreover, the anguish and sufferings of the animals, deprived of their
natural habitat or habitual surroundings, terrorized by what they see
in the laboratories and the brutalities they are subjected to, alter
their mental balance and organic reactions to such an extent that ANY
result is a priori
valueless.

The laboratory animal is a monster, made so by the experimenters.
Physically and mentally it has very little in common with a normal
animal, and much less with man.

As even Claude Bernard (1813-1878), founder of the modern
vivisectionist method, wrote in his Physiologie Operatoire (page
152):

"The experimental animal is never in a normal state. The normal state
is merely a supposition, an assumption."

......................
......................

Somebody launched the idea of breeding strains of bacteriologically
sterile laboratory animals...................

One delusion spawned another. Consistent failure made certain of those
misguided scientists realize - some haven't realized it yet - that
organic "material" raised under such abnormal conditions differs more
than ever from normal organisms.
Animals so raised never develop the natural defence mechanism, the so-
called immunological reaction, which is a salient characteristic of
every living organism. So it would be difficult to devise a less
reliable experimental material.
Besides, animals are by nature immune to most human infections -
diphtheria, thyphus, scarlet fever, German measles, smallpox, cholera,
yellow fever, leprosy and bubonic plague - while other infections,
such as TB and various septicemias, take up different forms in
animals. So the claim that through animals we can learn to control
human diseases could seem a sign of madness if we didn't know that it
is just a pretext for carrying on "experiments" which, however
dangerously misleading for medical science, are either intimately
satisfying for those who execute them, or highly lucrative.

The Swiss nation illustrates well to what extent the profit motive
promotes vivisection: with a population of less than 6 million,
Switzerland uses up annually many times as many laboratory animals as
does all of Soviet Russia with its 250 million inhabitants, but where
there is no money in the making of medicines.
