“I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it. The pains which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity towards it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further. I have tried to understand why it should be considered a kind of credit and a handsome thing to belong to a human race that has vivisectors in it.” — Mark Twain
