Things People Toss In A Bag Of Stamps: Save From Vivisection

Here is another stamp tossed into a bag of stamps I bought..

I have never heard of the word: vivisection.....
Thank you!

In brief, cruel and unusual experimentation on helpless animals in the name of science and research. Not a pleasant subject, but for a complete meaning, see this link:

The stamp you show above is a 1952 Anti-Vivisection Society Poster Stamp more commonly referred to as a "cinderella" issued by the National Anti-Vivisection Society. Here's one recent listing for this stamp:

Oh, now that is so sad...
I hope this still isn't happening.. Enough sadness and cruelty in this world already.....
Gosh...
Thank you so much,
