Jean-Antoine Gleizes
Jean-Antoine Gleizes (26 December 1773 – 17 June 1843) was a French philosopher, writer, and early advocate of vegetarianism. He was extremely popular and influential at his time. His best known work is ''Thalysie: the New Existence''. Biography Born in Dourgne, in the Tarn department of France, Gleizes initially pursued the study of medicine but abandoned it due to his profound aversion to vivisection and animal experimentation. Gleizes became deeply influenced by the revolutionary ideals of the late 18th century, though he retreated from public life during the French Revolution, disillusioned by its violence. Instead, he devoted himself to philosophical and literary pursuits, focusing on humanity's relationship with nature and the moral implications of meat consumption. He argued that the killing of animals was a main source of crime.

Animal Experimentation
Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research, and ''in vivo'' testing, is the use of animals, as model organisms, in experiments that seek answers to scientific and medical questions. This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments or habitats. Experimental research with animals is usually conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to the industry. The focus of animal testing varies on a continuum from pure research, focusing on developing fundamental knowledge of an organism, to applied research, which may focus on answering some questions of great practical importance, such as finding a cure for a disease. Examples of applied research include testing disease treatments, breeding, defense research, and toxicology, including cosmetics testing. In education, animal testing is s ...

Richard Wagner
Wilhelm Richard Wagner ( ; ; 22 May 181313 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, essayist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the ''Gesamtkunstwerk'' ("total work of art"), whereby he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. The drama was to be presented as a continuously sung narrative, without conventional operatic structures like Aria, arias and Recitative, recitatives. He described this vision in a List of prose works by Richard Wagner, series of essays published between 1849 and 1852. Wagner realised these ideas most fully in the first ...
