"Vivisection and sex murder stand on one and the same level, they are the product of spiritual blindness and moral depravity... The alleged objective of working for the good of mankind is a lie. I know that most vivisectors are seeking more to satisfy their vanity than their scientific curiosity. Each of them hopes somehow to make some discovery which, even if it is worthless, is nevertheless a discovery with which one can boast before everyone and throw sand into the eyes of the stupid."
Dr. med. Franz Hartmann, Hallein, from a letter to Dr.Ludwig Fliegel, dated April 22, 1895
"There is, however, another subject on which the Queen feels most strongly, and that is this horrible, brutalizing, un-Christian-like vivisection. It must really not be permitted. It is a disgrace to a civilized country."
Queen Victoria (1819-1901)
