Little regard for fellow creatures

“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t. The pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further”.

These sentiments expressed by the renowned American author Mark Twain over a hundred years ago should resonate even stronger now, given that modern advances in science have discovered alternative methods for testing which do not include animals.

These methods of course come at a cost and sadly for the animals big corporations sole interest is profit irrespective of the price that is paid by the hundreds of thousands of animals that die every year.
