strenuously opposes using animals to test drugs. “Forgotten Animals: Getting Fish, Birds, and
Amphibians Out of Experiments and Education,” GM (Spring 2019). Vegetarian/Vegan Action Newsletter
focuses on the millions of farm animals tortured and slaughtered by carnivores
to satisfy their irrational demand for unhealthy meat that also contributes to
CO2- causing climate change.
