The
Hans Ruesch Foundation for a Medicine Without Vivisection
This web site is meant to provide information
and documentation promoting a realistic view of vivisection (or animal
experimentation). “Vivisection” is any invasive experiment on living animals
and humans, which need not involve “cutting”.
Vivisection is the Trojan Horse by which ineffective
and dangerous drugs are marketed, and toxic agents are introduced in the
environment, in the food, and our lives,
with official certifications of efficacy and safety which, in fact, have no
scientific value.
Those who fight vivisection do not reject medicine. On the contrary, they want a reliable and
evidence-based medicine.
They are not siding with animals against humans. On the contrary, they are fighting to save
suffering to both animals and humans.
They are not involved in a merely theoretical issue. On the contrary, theirs is a political
struggle, because huge profits are made by exploiting this pseudo-scientific
methodology, and the groups thriving on it (first and foremost the
petro-chemo-pharmaceutical corporations) have their representatives at the
highest levels of governments, parties, universities – and animalist leagues,
too.

- Anthony Walker: Shame on Michael Moore!
This is a
classic case of don`t believe everything you see on film! While Moore is right to
lay into the corporations, I don`t believe he knows what capitalism is: that
it`s not an idea, but a system of society that has evolved in history. But what
really and finally made me turn off with revulsion was his sickening praise of
Salk the vivisector and blender of monkeys` kidneys. [More or see

M. Mamone Capria: On the new European
Directive on vivisection: a dangerous and cruel pseudoscience enforced against
the will of the European citizens
The following account is meant as a partial remedy to
a concerted attempt at stealing vital information from the European citizens.
It will be revised periodically, in order to report new developments or add relevant

What is happening at the European
Parliament concerning animal experimentation
A
proposal by the European Commission for revising the European Directive
86/609/EEC concerning «the protection of animals used for scientific purposes»
is under examination at the European Parliament since its publication on the
web in November 2008 (Proposal 2008). This is a topic European citizens know
very little about, as the mainstream media are silencing the issue to the best
of their ability. [More or see the pdf file]

Hans Ruesch (1989): A Nobel Prize Winner testifying against
vivisection
The opponents of vivisection
received quite unexpected help in 1985 from the notorious Dr. Hans-Joachim
Cramer, who directs the Press and Information Department of the German Federal
Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry ("Bundersverband der
Pharmazeutischen Industrie e.V.") - an office which demands great
inventive talent and strong nerves. [More]
M.
Mamone Capria: A che punto siamo con la
lotta contro la vivisezione?
Questo intervento è dedicato alla problematica
che ha occupato l’ultimo terzo della vita di Hans Ruesch: la lotta contro la
vivisezione. Naturalmente non intendo fare un riassunto di Imperatrice nuda, il gran libro che ha fatto risorgere in tutto il
mondo un movimento che sonnecchiava o dormiva. Vorrei invece concentrarmi sulla
questione politica che era sempre al
centro delle preoccupazioni di Ruesch, e che rendeva la sua conversazione al
riguardo così antipatica a chi si aspettava dalla sua veneranda età parole
pacate e ottimistiche. In breve: a che punto siamo nella lotta contro la
vivisezione? [More]
