"FYI- man has never cured a disease in written history. we have
erradicated, quarantined, vaccinated but never cured. so they can turn a
man on with a pill, but to cure a disease is new ground. i'm hoping it
happens soon. for everybody's sake."

What would a "cure" look like if one should occur?

Weve cured 100's of diseases.  What are you talking about?

PS: Hitler .. was as much a vegetarian .. as you .. are ..

The following article was written by Roberta
Kalechofsky, and appeared in the November
1996 issue of "The Animals' Agenda."

*       *       *       *       *

In their efforts to discredit animal rights
activists, supporters of animal research
periodically proclaim to the media that
Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and that
the Nazis did not engage in animal
research.

The implication is that these 'revelations'
suggest a sinister similarity between Nazis
and animal rights 'zealots' and serve as a
warning that animal advocates have an
anti-human agenda.

But the real story about Hitler and the
Nazis is miles from the myth.

One legitimate response to such claims
is that it doesn't matter whether Hitler was
a vegetarian; as Peter Singer said, "The
fact that Hitler had a nose doesn't mean
we're going to cut our noses off."

Biographical material about Hitler suggests
a contradictoriness in reports about his diet.
He is often described as a vegetarian who
nevertheless had a special fondness for
sausages and caviar, and sometimes ham.

One of his biographers, Robert Payne ("The
Life and Death of Adolf Hitler) took exception
to the view of Hitler as an ascetic, and said
it was deliberately fostered by the Nazis to
project an image of Hitler as pure and
dedicated.

Wrote Payne:  "Hitler's asceticism played an
important part in the image he projected
over Germany.  According to the widely
believed legend, he neither smoked nor
drank, nor did he have anything to do with
women.

"Only the first was true.  He drank beer and
diluted wine frequently, had a special fondness
for Bavarian sausages, and kept a mistress...

"His asceticism was a fiction invented by
(Nazi propagandist Joseph) Goebbels to
emphasize his total dedication, his self-control,
the distance that separated him from other men..."

Biographer John Toland ("Adolf Hitler"), describes
Hitler's early student diet as consisting of "milk,
sausage, and bread."

Moreover, Hitler never promoted vegetarianism
as a public policy for either health or moral
reasons.  His lack of policies and public
support for vegetarianism is significant in a
leader who rigorously enforced other health
policies, such as anti-smoking and anti-pollution
legislation, and pregnancy and birthing
measures for women.

The rumor that the Nazis passed an anti-
vivisection law is also filled with contradictions.
No such law was passed, although the Nazis
reported that such a law existed.  The Nazis
allegedly passed an anti-vivisection bill in
1933.

"Lancet," the prestigious British medical
journal, reviewed the Nazis' law in 1934 and
warned anti-vivisectionists not to celebrate
because the Nazis' law was no different, in
effect, from the British law that had been
passed in 1876, which restricted some
animal research, but hardly eliminated it.
An enormous amount of research on
animals continued to be carried out by
Nazi doctors.

The evidence of Nazi experiments on
animals is overwhelming.  In "The Dark
Face of Science," author John Vyvyan
summed it up correctly:

"The experiments made on prisoners were
many and diverse, but they had one thing in
common:  all were in continuation of or
complementary to, experiments on animals.

"In every instance, this antecedent scientific
literature is mentioned in the evidence, and
at Buchenvald and Auschwitz concentration
camps, human and animal experiments
were carried out simultaneously as parts of
a single programme."

It is important that the facts be known so
that the myths about Hitler and the Nazis
cannot be used against the animal rights
and vegetarian movements.

Animal rights advocates should not let
these false claims appear in the media
unchallenged.  The record must be set
straight.
