Saving Molly: A Research Veterinarian's Hard Choices for the Love of Animals - Tapa dura

"There are a number of compassionate people who never come to terms with the laboratory conditions, but stay because they feel that they can then try to make things better for the chimps. One such is Dr. James Mahoney...Jim is one of the most gentle and compassionate people I know." --Jane Goodall

"The very term, vivisection, arouses strong emotional reactions on both sides. On one side stand most medical scientists, rigid and unyielding; on the other, a host of philosophers and ethicists...In the middle stand Molly's Jim as well as Dr. Mahoney, the chimpanzees' doctor, both packaged inside one gentle, caring man trying to calm the emotions, soften the rhetoric, and most important, make sense of it all. There is conflict within him that one doubts can be resolved." --Roger A. Caras, from the Introduction

"What's important to me is that he is concerned about the pain and the suffering of the animals." That's what makes Jim Mahoney different." --Alex Pacheco, founder of People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals
