A Message from our Patron
"I
start from the principle that if I intend to perform some act upon
another being, an unpleasant act to which the other being has not
signified full, informed, and willing consent, an act which is not
intended for the ultimate benefit of this being, and if I intend
furthermore to perform the act in private, away from the public
gaze, then the intended act is prima facie, on the face of it, an
atrocity, to be resisted and denounced; furthermore, that this
principle should hold whether the other being in question, my
intended victim, is a man or a mouse."

Coetzee
Professor John Coetzee won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003.
He is also the first author to win the prestigious Booker Prize
twice. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, and being of both Boer and
English descent, Professor Coetzee's novels cover a wide variety of
issues with no two books following the same pattern. A fundamental
theme, however, involves the abuse of power including the values
and conduct resulting from the apartheid system in South Africa. He
is a strong opponent of animal exploitation and has spoken out
against it on many occasions.
The Australian Association for Humane Research Inc. is honored to
have Professor Coetzee as our Patron.
