Is Not This The Knighthood Of A Veritable Fiend?

I have just learned that the Queen has knighted Arch Vivisector Colin Blakemore of Oxford! Well, one thing is sure: our present monarch is a vast contrast, indeed, to anti-vivsectionist Queen Victoria! While this latter lady of past history took a most hostile view of such a pseudo science as vivisection, our present queen comes across once again as one who does whatever a crooked government requires of her.

Indeed, all this is very sad, yet obviously very much the case.  And, to any who have but basic knowledge of the kind of animal experimentation that Colin Blakemore has been doing down the decades, it might appear as if our Queen is either very naive or else putting herself on a par with a past German leader when he once ‘ceremonially honoured’ a Dr Joseph Mengele!’  Indeed, those who hold positions of top influence not only have much to live up to down here, but also to give an account for ‘before the throne of a just and righteous God’ in the hereafter!
What follows, is but one random test relating to Blakemore, which he did back in the 1970s:

A number of cats had the muscle surrounding the right eye cut away, the whole eye then being rotated by as much as 115 degrees.  These included 3 kittens less than 3 weeks old.  Another kitten which had been reared in total darkness until now, five and a half.

And another cat normally reared.   Then, several weeks later,  all had whiskers removed, and then their visual ability was tested, while each was wearing contact lenses!.  These models were then anaesthetised, paralysed with drugs, artificially ventilated, and electrical recordings made of brain cells within their visual cortex, via a hole drilled in each of their skulls

The ‘grandiose title’ of such a callous and meaningless experiment performed by Blakemore around 1975 was: ‘DEVELOPMENT OF CAT VISUAL CORTEX FOLLOWING ROTATION OF ONE EYE!’  Well, thousands of similar grotesque experiments may well have followed since; and for these he is now given a knighthood. I think there’s a lot of truth behind the saying:: the Devil looks after his own! –  and Jesus teaching clearly confirmed it.

I well remember, on receiving my first position as Rector of a most idyllic and affluent parish, how it was said: ‘play your cards right here James, and you’ll certainly be landed for the rest of your life!’  However, when I became aware of factory farm innovations, I had to decide whether to remain mute or ‘rock the boat’; and I’m most grateful that Our Lord gave me the strength to do the latter, even though it stirred up, a veritable hornets nest!
