It disturbs the Grumpy Vegan to find that the folks at PETA are upset about the death of Hans Ruesch.
What short, selective or nonexistent memories people have?
Ruesch’s books were emotional diatribes against animal research that were undocumented and therefore unusable. He peddled a paranoid conspiracy theory that all the anti-vivisection groups who disagreed with him were in cahoots with the drug companies. His rantings inspired some to even physically attack a highly reputed, scientifically qualified vegan, anti-vivisection opponent, Dr. Gill Langley, advisor to the Dr. Hadwen Trust.
And if all this isn’t enough I recall him speaking unapologetically in support of an interview he gave to a magazine published by a British fascist organization.
