Hans Ruesch’s three books, Slaughter of the Innocent, Naked Empress and 1000 Doctors (and more) Against Vivisection, published between 1978 and 1989, laid the foundations for the modern anti-vivisection movement, with its uncompromising demand for a complete end to vivisection and the fraudulent scientific arguments which underlie it.

 

Dr Tony Page wrote about the book in the Foreword to Civis Answers Questions on Vivisection:

 

Born of a rare blend of high intelligence, sound but unstuffy scholarship, a strong capacity for pity and empathy, allied to a striking literary skill, Slaughter of the Innocent constitutes the 20th century’s single most powerful indictment of ‘vivisection’ – the experimentation with and upon living animals.

 

Hans Ruesch died earlier this year (2007) and it is unlikely that any writer of his intelligence and comprehension, on the matter of vivisection will ever pass this way again. If you read no other book against vivisection, read this one; it is a truly mind moving book.
