Sacred Cows and Golden Geese: The Human Cost of Experiments on Animals
by C. Ray Greek, MD and Jean Swingle Greek, DVM
"Ray and Jean Greek show that the use of live animals in research is unethical, not with relation to the suffering of the animals as more commonly held, but because faulty science underpins it." – Jane Goodall
"In this comprehensive, compelling, and troubling book, the Greeks make one point absolutely clear: the necessity is not animal experimentation; the necessity is to stop it." – Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat
"This book will make all of us better citizens of the world and save many animals in the process." – Howard F. Lyman, author of Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat
"Drs. Greek confirm scientifically what has been known by practicing physicians for years – research on animals does not help humans. Animal research has never helped me, or any physician, diagnose or treat our patients. The Greeks have tackled the most cutting-edge issue in medical research with objectivity, good sense, and their own wealth of clinical experience. I recommend this book to anyone interested in an insider's view of the tumultuous world of research." – Neal Barnard, MD, author of Eat Right Live Longer
"Strongly recommended for all academic and public libraries." – Choice
"Sacred Cows and Golden Geese is replete with valid data and substantial information clearly affirming and confirming that vivisection is futile, cruel, and deceptive. It is not a necessary evil; it is evil period." – Moneim A. Fadali, MD, FACS, author of Animal Experimentation: A Harvest of Shame
