10 Horrific Animal Experiments

Description: Monkeys choke as experimental substances are piped through tubes forced up their nostrils. US lab, Covance, tests how much substance the animals can stand - vet intervention is forbidden Scientists conduct surgery on & destroy parts of live monkey's brains. The study aims to understand schizophrenia, OCD, & depression. University of Wisconsin researchers studied how sound is processed in deafened cats. They immobilised their heads by screwing steel posts into open wounds & planting metal into eyes. Dogs are forced to breathe tobacco smoke for up to 6 hours every day for 3 years. Tobacco companies also spread cigarette tar on rat's skin leading to peeling skin and tumours. Georgia University researchers pull teeth from live dogs, euthanise them & saw off bone samples. The experiments to test human dental implants were uncovered in November 2013. Cardiff University tests sewed kitten's eyes together & raised them in the dark. Aiming for a cure for lazy eyes, 1 test saw 31 cats suffer sensory deprivation. Canadian military tests chemical weapons on thousands of pigs each year. They are exposed to sarin & mustard gas, causing seizures bleeding, & even death. Live rats have their penises skinned & electrocuted- shocks last up to 5 minutes. Johns Hopkins University inject chemicals into the penis' to see if an erection could be sustained. In 1959 a Soviet scientist grafted the head & legs of 1 dog onto another- it survived for 4 days. Demikhov conducted the study 24 times - he also stitched an extra heart into 1 dog. Dogs exposed to near vacuum in a 1965 study suffered seizures & swelled up. Tests at Brooks Air Force Base caused dogs to simultaneously defecate, vomit & urinate.
