. . . Gambling on the ignorance and suffering of countless people, their constant fear of pain and disease, and with the help of the mass-media, this pseudo-science has created the illusion that she wields mysterious and unlimited powers on which mankind's salvation depends . . .

Il Tempo
The evidence assembled by Hans Ruesch is so massive and impressive that it leaves one breathless.Stampo Sera
A violent and well-documented indictment against vivisection and its erroneous findings...resulting in a manufactory of diseases. An exceptional and courageous book.L'Unita
No wonder that these sorcerer's apprentices produce medications that cause cancer.Corriere della Sera
A vibrant denunciation of the atrocities committed in the name of science.Il Piccolo
We can fight against those who use our money and abuse our health for the sake of their careers and pecuniary gain, and we ought to do it quickly.Roma
A merciless analysis, 'a vivisection of vivisection'. Fascinating and appalling, horrible and exalting.Epoca
This book is a noble battle against the two principal forces in the world: human cruelty and human stupidity.
Germany
Quick
A staggering document.Westermanns Monatshefte
Nobody has dared tackling the Science taboo so forcefully before. Henceforth, vivisectionists will have a hard time to find even a single argument in favor of animal experimentation.
Switzerland
Nebelspalter
A tremendous persuasiveness and exceptional competence emanate from this book.La Suisse
With this book, Hans Ruesch, the novelist, launches a bomb that unfortunately is not fictional. He denounces the crimes of vivisection in terms that for the first time might convince even people who don't care one whit about animals.
Great Britain
Daily Express
...It's a view I'd always taken myself - until I read Hans Ruesch's book. It's an appalling indictment of much of modern-day vivisection as cruel and largely useless...As the first nation to restrict vivisection by law in 1876, it's time we looked again at our dubious record.
France
Lyon-Matin
The book demonstrates that the claims of vivisection are a monstrous fraud, due to the coalition of an almighty pharmaceutical industry which has turned its back on Hippocrates.
