The Research Defence Society and Anti-Vivisection Shops

Abstract

WE desire to make a special appeal for the purpose of undoing the harm which is done by anti-vivisection shops and processions. The exhibits in these shops are of a most misleading nature: and the truth as to anaesthetics is carefully concealed. No operation, more than the lancing of a vein just under the skin, is allowed to be done on any animal in this country, unless the animal is under an anaesthetic throughout the whole of the operation.
