A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful.  At the same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.

 


Serial Killers or Scientists? – 21 August 2007
By Mary T. Hoffman

With all the fuss about Michael Vick and the dog fighting scandal lately, I’ve been thinking about the thousands of animals tortured by “scientists” funded by the government and by “charities” that manipulate the emotions of the public with promises of a “cure” for this or that disease. In a vicious cycle, egotistical celebrities, corporations, and billionaires allow themselves to be flattered and conned by these money-grubbers.

Why are those who are involved in the cruel pursuit of dog fighting considered criminals while vivisectionists – “scientists” who sadistically torture their innocent victims before their eventual “serial sacrifice” – continue to be respected and honored? They are all criminals!

One such much-honored monster, Harry Harlow, whose field was experimental psychology, horrifically abused newborn rhesus macaques by emotional deprivation and devised unspeakably cruel tortures, among them: a “rape rack” for artificially inseminating female monkeys.

“The only thing I care about is whether a monkey will turn out a property I can publish. I don’t have any love for them. I never have. I don’t really like animals. I despise cats. I hate dogs. How could you love monkeys?” *

One would think that anyone capable of doing such things would be labeled a criminal, at the very least. Instead Harry Harlow received the National Medal of Science, the highest award for scientific achievement in the United States!
