Majendie was the founder of the School of Experimental Physiology,
and was so indifferent to the sufferings of the animals experimented
upon that he has been called cruel by his fellow workers, and was even
accused of having performed experiments on human beings. On the occasion
of his first visit to England he was openly accused in Parliament, but
was so warmly defended by James Mackintosh and a strong party, that the
accusation led to no result.
“I recall to mind a poor dog, the roots of whose vertebral nerves
Majendie desired to lay bare. The dog, already mutilated and bleeding,
twice escaped from under the implacable knife, and threw his front paws
around Majendie’s neck, licking him, as if to soften his murderer and beg
for mercy. Vivisectors may laugh, but I confess I was unable to endure
the heartrending spectacle.”--Dr. Latour, Lancet, No. 2,086, pp. 224-5.
