Description
Book SynopsisChallenging the belief that the use of animals in biomedical research is necessary for the advancement of human medical knowledge, the authors of this text assert that the use of animals in medical research is unethical because faulty science underpins such experimentation.
Trade Review"Beautifully written, urgently conceived, comprehensively researched, Sacred Cows and Golden Geese is a desperately needed book that has the potential to incite a major shift in the thinking of millions of people. By relentlessly accessing the data with a stern objectivity, and compassionate embrace of the issues, Ray and Jean Greek have done what no other authors have yet accomplished: calmly, powerfully, convincingly explained why invasive animal research is a monstrous deception. The Greeks are likely to find themselves in the midst of a firestorm. What they have uncovered will make countless industries, universities, foundations, and institutions as grand as the National Institutes of Health quake in their sleep."--Michael Tobias "Everyone should read this book! Exposing the colossal corruption and bogus science behind much of the pharmaceutical industry, it amazes, enrages, and inspires. With countless clear, scientific examples the authors...dispel the myth that animal experiments have contributed to medical progress....It is imperative that animal-rights campaigners are well-versed in the wealth of information revealed here to prove that animal research is bad science and that far more sophisticated alternatives are available."--Outrage
