Anti-vivisection
Sir,—Miss Taylor in her letter, “anti-vivisection" (November 19) stated clearly that there is no justification for vivisection and never has been. As a member of the younger generation, I would like to see more young people involved in the fight against the cruelties of vivisection, no longer a back seat issue but an absolute necessity if man is to learn to respect all life forms in the need to survive. Why is it necessary for such things as vivisection to be labelled “progress,” if, as Miss Taylor says in her letter, the results are inconclusive? I see it as an unjustified and pointless act in which man is in effect torturing himself to death, and perhaps the most deadly poison in our society is ignorance. Hopefully the campaign against vivisection is now reaching a generation that will grow up realising that these are not the methods needed to make progress in this world.—Yours, etc. (Miss) CELIA C. TARLTON. November 23, 1981.
