Spira soon took aim at a common animal test called LD/50, which had long been used to establish "safe" levels for human exposure to chemicals and drugs by determining what level of exposure provided a lethaldose to 50 percent of the animals in the test sample.
Spira was a committed vegetarian who believed that meat-rich Western diets were medically unsound and that the global environment was endangered by the growth of the meat industry in developing nations, but he regularly infuriated militant animal rights groups by advocating a gradualist approach, focusing on working with meat producers to reduce animal suffering.
Henry Spira was born June 19, 1927, in Antwerp, Belgium, the son of Maurice and Margit Spitzer Spira.
