True Story, Animal Activist, Bringing light to the darkness.
Review:
Not for the faint of heart, it is intense true story explaining how Ita Stein Gvirtzman's perception about life, animals and rights turned upside-down. After years as a "vivisector" -a person that experiments on animals, in this case "mice", for the sake of science.
Ita Stein Gvirtzman's goes into deep detail about an industry most of us don't even think about, or could only imagine by watching movies. This story did not start at some random point where she chose to become an animal activist, it came after 20 years of daily experimentation, and unfortunately not until she became ill herself, contracting cancer she realized what she was doing was wrong, and that changes needed to occur. She now saw herself as the mice, and the mice as her friend.
I personally believe it is better late than never when it comes to doing the right thing. She has now found her path. It is a shame it had to come after something so ugly such as cancer coming into her life, but it appears that this is what it took, for her to stop, slow down, and analyze what she has done with her life, and what she will do with the remainder of it.
She has chosen to make a difference, and make a difference she has. This book is very inspirational, and right to the point. Time may be relative, but we only have so much time on this earth, we can take from her actions that we need to stop, or slow down, and analyze our lives, and ask ourselves if we are doing the right thing, and if we are not, we need to set course on doing so. Stand up for what is right, bring light to the darkness.
If you speak up, you will be heard, but if you allow large companies to set a price on you, you are in a sense selling your soul, and allowing for injustices to continue. Be Humane, Stand for good, stand for rights, together we can make a difference and no life is too little to be saved.
