Inhumanity towards animals

Sir,—The: - Queen’s Christmas message concentrated on the “good news.” However, it only encompassed all the aspects, of man’s inhumanity to man. No reference was made to man’s inhumanity to animals. One day animal liberators may be recognised as heroes rather than terrorists. In my letter to “The Press” of July 17, I described, id part, the atrocities carried out on living baboons for brain research at the University of Pennsylvania after seeing the video film uplifted by animal rights workers. Copies of this have since been shown in ,a number of countries. As one who joined others in writing to the secretary of the National Health Institute, Washington, demanding a suspension of funding (?USI2M over the last 12 years) for this diabolical practice, the good news is that 55 Congressmen have also signed a similar demand and legislation should eventually close down this animal Auschwitz.—Yours, etc., NATALIE TAYLOR, Christchurch Co-Ordinator,.
