Lord Hugh Dowding
Lord Hugh Dowding
British Air Chief Marshal and anti-vivisectionist, founder of
The Lord Dowding Fund for Humane Research
(1882-1990)
“I firmly believe that painful experiments on animals are morally wrong,
and that it is basically immoral to do eveil in order that good may come –
even if it were proved that mankin benefits from the suffering inflicted on
animals. I further believe that, in the vast majority of cases, mankind does
not so benefit, and the results of vivisection are, in fact, misleading and
harmful.”
- Part of a speech delivered to the House of Lords in 1957
