about

Humankind's treatment of animals is deplorable. They are treated not as sentient beings, capable of feeling pain and suffering, but as products to be used for whatever purpose is felt best benefits people. Animal experimentation is the ultimate expression of this superiority - where animals are subjected to unspeakable cruelty in order to satisfy human demands and curiosity. In Nazi Germany, the people sang 'Deutschland Uber Alles' ('Germany Over Everything') as a hymn of their feelings of racial supremacy. In our treatment of the animals of the world, how much different are we?

lyrics

Human beings uber alles - calculating, cold and callous. Lives are snuffed out in the name of science. This is our voice of defiance. It seems as though the human race considers that its rightful place is at the culminating point of evolution, so it has the right to embark on a final solution where all life which is not seen to directly benefit human beings is there to be used up and discarded - the suffering of these creatures is disregarded. Humankind takes and humankind destroys, using living creatures as if they were toys - dissected for experimentation and led to mass extermination. Scientists claim that there is a purpose, and that these experiments exist to educate us. Well, the only lesson that they show is just how low mankind can go.
