"Atrocious medical experiments are being made on children, mostly physically and mentally handicapped ones, and on aborted fetuses, given or sold to the laboratories and raised to maturity for experimental purposes. This is a logical development of the practice of vivisection. It is our urgent task to accelerate its inevitable downfall."
Prof. Pietro Croce, M.D., pathologist, Italy, Vice-President of The International League of Doctors Against Vivisection (ILDAV), 3rd Symposium, 1988
"We have a special duty to all animals and we must fight against the merchants of animal suffering who subordinate compassion to the heartless demands of so-called scientific progress."
