Isn't laying foundation-stones and opening bazaars a public expression of opinion? Don't I go because you approve of them?" "That is a very different matter," said her mother. "Good objects like those no one can possibly object to." "But I think anti-vivisection a good object." "I don't care what you think," said her father, "you are perfectly free to think as you like.
The anti-vivisection crusade has enlisted widely different classes in the community, including many lovers of our dumb-animal pets and aren't some of them the dumbest things you ever saw! especially chow dogs and love birds. I will admit there is something to be said on both sides of the argument. This dissecting of live subjects may have been carried to extremes on occasions.
Personally I should be more inclined to suspect the Zionists, or the Bolshevik refugees, or your Irishmen, or some of the Unprotected Minorities, or the Poles, or the Anti-Vivisection League, who are very fierce. But, for choice, the Poles; anyhow as regards Burnley.
April 4. An advocate of Anti-vivisection brings an action for libel against an advocate of Vivisection. It matters little which will win. But if each recognised the other's truth he would be paralysed in proclaiming his own truth. There would be general stagnation.

Just in the same way we have a national passion for bull-baiting and cock-fighting and pheasant-shooting and fox-hunting, and a no less violent passion for anti-vivisection and the protection of animals.

Well, if you have money to throw away on this kind of thing, there can be no reason why you should not subscribe and subscribe handsomely to my anti-Vivisection League.
