'A Child's Guide to Vivisection' by biochem companies

WC | 31.01.2009 21:47 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Culture

A conglomerate of biochemistry and research companies and universities in the US have put together this children's colouring book to 'teach' them about the 'benefits' of vivisection. Fab.

At first I thought it was some ironic animal rights propaganda but no, for real, it is a children's colouring book about how their sick pet puppy was cured by the miracles of animal testing! The real cincher is the last page where Lucy says "well I want to be an animal researcher!' or similar.

If anything was ever begging to be "reengineered" to give a different message this is it. I would have a go but ive got no artistic talent at all!

Compassionate artists, rise up! You have nothing to loose but a bit of spare time!

Err why does the vet miss out the bit about making the mice sick in the first place, bashing their poor little heads in and the fact that humans and dogs are not mice?
After reading this bilge I felt like throwing up but it indicates a new confidence in the vivisection industry now that any criticism of their atrocities is heresy on both sides of the Atlantic.It reminds me of in "Diet for a new America" where the author details the crap he was fed as a child about animals going off merrily to the abbatoirs and Mc Donalds.
Maybe we should do our own one about being an activist?
