“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Mahatma Gandhi
These words laid the foundational philosophy that Medicine Without Cruelty stands by. As a society we have taken great strides in the field of science and technology, with cutting-edge methods such as artificial intelligence, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip technology. But the torturous and barbaric practice of animal testing has persisted despite its proven ineffectiveness and no translation to providing real human benefit.
Moreover, schools, colleges and universities do not show students a true picture of the animal testing landscape – a path dripping in pain, torture, and harrowing treatment of animals. Without this knowledge, these students are ill prepared for a future in 21st Century technology, an illuminated path without the exploitation of animals.
Take my example, I spent years studying and training in the clinical sciences only to realise I had become brainwashed into believing the misinformation spread by animal testers. When my eyes were opened to the lack of real patient benefit of using animals in science, it was time to start a new chapter which can benefit anyone looking to lead a kinder life where animals are treated as equals to humans.
It is only when we realise there is no place for animals in science will we start making real progress.
