Would you like to earn an easy $50 by posting some leaflets around campus, to save the lives of animals and help your fellow students too?



Dr Andrew Knight is a veterinarian who advocates ethical veterinary University education programmes, and offers humane anatomy and dissection resources through his website www.LearningWithoutKilling.info

From 1998 – 2000, I won several major battles not to kill animals in veterinary school while still a student at Western Australia’s Murdoch University. Across Australia and New Zealand, increasing numbers of students and teachers are no longer willing to harm or kill the hundreds of thousands of animals that are needlessly experimented on and dissected in biomedical science courses each year. Humane alternatives successfully used at other universities around the world include computer simulations, videos, plasticised specimens, ethically-sourced cadavers (obtained from animals that have died naturally, in accidents, or been euthanased for medical reasons), self-experimentation, and supervised clinical experiences.

Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence, humane teaching methods are still resisted in many universities, resulting in fierce struggles with students unwilling to harm animals for their education. Unlike academic staff, students cannot be fired, and ethical and courageous students have been the most powerful advocates of humane alternatives. Despite frequent faculty opposition, their committed and professional campaigns on several campuses around the world have recently resulted in the elimination of many labs in which animals were previously killed, saving hundreds of dogs, frogs, pigs, sheep, guinea pigs, mice and rats annually.

Several of these students tell their stories in my book Learning Without Killing: A Guide to Conscientious Objection, downloadable from my web site www.LearningWithoutKilling.info. I created this site to provide students with easy access to the resources they need to win campaigns for humane alternatives. It includes lists of educational studies proving that alternative students perform at least as well as those trained via harming animals, alternatives submissions (that have already been successful in ending hundreds of animal experiments at several major universities worldwide), links to numerous free on-line alternatives, and the world’s largest photo gallery on the subject, including 125 high-quality photos of animal dissection, experimentation, surgical training, computer simulations, mannequins and models, preserved tissues, and humane surgical training alternatives. A memorial page contains stories from students about animals they’ve seen harmed or killed in their courses.

Thirty three Australian and eight New Zealand university campuses offer three or more courses likely to use animals, and yours is one of them. For each of these campuses I am seeking students willing to post www.LearningWithoutKilling.info leaflets (downloadable from the home page) on all campus biomedical (biological, veterinary, medical) student notice boards, and to maintain them there, for the duration of semester. I aim to show biomedical students there is no need to kill to learn how to heal, or to study the biological sciences generally. I’m willing to pay $50 per campus if monthly dated .JPG format photos of posted leaflets are emailed to me, and $20 otherwise.

So if you’d like to make some easy money, and just maybe help to save the lives of animals killed on your campus, please contact me ASAP.


With thanks,

Dr Andrew Knight, Veterinarian

Don't visit Animal Circuses!
Behind the costumes and dazzling lights, animals used in entertainment often live their lives in cramped, alien environments, and suffer abuse through violent training and disciplinary techniques.

Wild animals are at home ONLY in the wild. Many cities throughout the world have banned animal circuses, while the best circuses in the world rely solely on human talent such as Cirque du Soleil.
