I hope list members will forgive me for posting this

here - I think it has worldwide significance!

 

A letter written to the Derby Evening

Telegraph in reply to an article defending

vivisection.

 

" I would like to thank the Research Defence Society

for their

interesting

revelations but I am a little confused. You see I

suffer from

arthritis, and

nothing my doctor has given me works. In fact, the

side effects of some

treatments have been very distressing.

 

My cat also has arthritis, yet the tablets my vet gave

her appear to

have

worked wonders. So, after reading the articles of (the

RDS) I went

along to

see my vet and asked him for some tablets for myself.

He laughed at me

and

said that just because they had cured my cat, that

doesn't mean that

they

are suitable for me.

 

Last week my neighbour's dog strained his shoulder and

could barely

walk,

but after pain-killing injections he was jumping

around like a puppy. I

went

back to my vet and asked if these injections would do

the same for me.

He

was quite rude and said that medication used on

animals and humans are

so

different.

 

This has left me very puzzled, because according to

(the RDS) letters,

if

it's safe for animals then it's safe for us! I'm not

sure what to do

the

next time I'm ill: should I see a doctor or a vet?

 

After all, the principle's the same . . . isn't it?

(Mrs D M, Hucknall
