Vivisection at Oxford

To all who…hold vivisection to be in itself cruel, immoral, and demoralising to those engaged in it…we can only hope, as we may well believe, that the healthy growth of public opinion on the subject will inspire a future Convocation to undo the evil work now perpetrated.

The Clergy and Vivisection

Even were the torture of animals proved—as it never yet has been—to subserve the advance of medical science, that would make it, if somewhat less odious, not less absolutely unlawful and immoral.
