ABOUT THE BOOK:
Animal experimentation, which most people shrug off as a necessary
biomedical
evil, is actually a gross betrayal of science.

Sacred Cows and Golden Geese is the first book to demonstrate, in detail,
that reliance on laboratory animals is not necessary. It is expensive. It
is inaccurate. And further, it is detrimental to the very species it
professes to help -- humankind.

Although animal experimentation is a touchstone of the scientific age, its
benefits are a myth -- perpetuated by an immensely profitable medical
establishment that includes researchers, medical facilities, drug companies,
universities, and even cage manufacturers.

C. Ray Greek, MD, and veterinary dermatologist Jean Swingle Greek show how
the public has been deliberately misled. (The real source of medical
innovation is human-based evidence.) In the process, they blow the lid off
vested-interest groups whose hidden agendas actually put our health at risk.

"Ray and Jean Greek show that the use of live animals in medical 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

"Sacred Cows and Golden Geese is a book that is long overdue. Drs. Greek
have illuminated a subject too long neglected in a strong and forceful
manner. This book will make all of us better citizens of the world and save
many animals in the process."
~Howard F. Lyman

"Many of us feel, in our bones, that all animal research is wrong. We know
it causes animals to suffer, but can we honestly say that the suffering is
needless? We think: this must be so; we have heard vague rumors; remember
isolated sentences. We need the data, the proof, the research. Here it is
-- all in one simple, straightforward, no-nonsense book. Read it. You'll
see what I mean."
~Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

"Drs. Greek, both former animal experimenters, show that experiments on
animals are not responsible for the miracle cures we have today.
Experiments
on animals are about money, not curing disease."
~Martina Navratilova

"Beautifully written, urgently conceived, comprehensively researched, Sacred
Cows and Golden Geese is a desperately needed book that has the potential to
incite a major shift in the thinking of millions of people. By relentlessly
accessing the data with a stern objectivity and compassionate embrace of the
issues, Ray and Jean Greek have done what no other authors have yet
accomplished: calmly, powerfully, convincingly explained why invasive
animal
research is monstrous deception. The Greeks are likely to find themselves in
the midst of a firestorm. What they have uncovered will make countless
industries, universities, foundations, and institutions as grand as the
National Institutes of Health quake in their sleep."
~Michael Tobins
