It has been announced that Hans Ruesch, the father of the genuine scientific anti-vivisection movement, died on Monday 27th August 2007, aged 94.

Author of the books Slaughter of the Innocent, and Naked Empress, Hans was the scourge of both the vivisection industry, and the phoney, infiltrator-led, "anti-vivisection" movement whose continued purpose is to mount pretend anti-vivisection campaigns deliberately designed to go no-where, whilst relieving sincere, but often naive animal rights people of their money.

Though Hans was an animal lover he also realised the futility of campaigning against vivisection on moral grounds alone, and as a virtual one-man band his CIVIS organisation claimed many successes in his battle against vivisection.

Tragic though his death is, it can only be hoped that those in the movement who sincerely desire to see the end of vivisection will take the trouble to read his books and the information at the BAVA website (where can be found his numerous Foundation Reports), reflect on why so little progress is being made today, and use the information to help bring about vivisection’s inevitable and long-overdue abolition.

He will be sadly missed by those who know the score.
