Labour’s Science minister Lord Drayton – writing
quite recently in the Daily Telegraph - sought to convey the impression
that in Oxford chimpanzees are no longer confined to small inhumane
cages waiting to be experimented on. Great strides have been made in the
sense that many of them are free to play in spacious places where swings
and miniature pools are available for them.. Indeed, a bond is
frequently encouraged whereby the animals are won over to view the
‘scientific’ experimenters as their friends and almost playmates. They
then come, quite willingly, forward ‘to be experimented on’, which is
much more preferable than having to seize them before being clamped or
injected. Such, of course, are not Lord Drayton’s literal words but very
much the gist behind much of the article he wrote. Well, getting
innocent and vulnerable life to trust you, so as to horribly abuse them,
is diabolical and certainly not new!
All I would say is that these latest techniques are
along the methods of their ‘predecessors in a similar field.’ Yes in far
off Germany of the war years!. The names of two were Mengele and Eichman.
One of these would drive in to the children’s area of a concentration
camp, pip the horn of his flashy, open sports car and invite children to
ride around with him. This way they learned to trust him, looking upon
him as a kindly uncle. He would then, at a later date, gently inoculate
them and then the fiendish experiments would follow..
Such folk as Eichman, Mengele, and countless others,
were not sadists in the minds of their fellow Nazis, but rather medical
men of distinction whose objectives were backed and approved by their
government; and this was because the outcome of such experimentation was
thought to benefit the medical health of future Germany. At least,
that’s how they rationalised such horrendous evil. Yes, and only
an ignoramus would fail to see the likeness of such past barbarity with
recent New Labour condoned vivisection. We have yet to see how our new
Coalition Government reacts and responds. I only know that the past
regime claimed to be ‘animal friendly!’
One thing I have no doubt about is that if such evils
had been denounced by church leaders, with a warning given that ‘what we
sow in this life is what we’ll reap in the next’, then laboratory animal
abusers would be drastically reduced in number. Regrettably, however,
there are far too many hypocrites in the churches who – especially if
they are to be flattered or remunerated financially – would assure such
emissaries of Satan that they need fear no futire punishment. “My dear
man, just accept Jesus!” or “Dear man, just offer a prayer of contrition
and I’ll give you the last rites!” Well, what balderdash! The truth is
that a future Hell of existence awaits those who have made hell for the
vulnerable and innocent here and now, and Vivisectors – along with all
other animal abusers - need to be told this. “If you sow to the wind
then be prepared to reap the whirlwind”
Why do some forms of life have to endure the existence of a creature
crawling and scuttling under a stone, and petrified of the next turn,
while we as humans live in affluent homes enjoying delicacies, air
travel and mod cons? I’ll tell you why! What we sow in one form of
existence is what we’ll reap in the next. Yes, and possibly ad infinitum
- until ‘weary of reaping what we’ve sown’, we at last surrender
to Christ no more choosing to voluntarily rebel.
