The Only Scarier Thing Than A Review Of What Humans Did So Far Is What They Can Do In The Future
History is not something that happens to people—it is the activity of people. In every moment, in every decision and gesture, we make our culture, our life stories, and our world.
The back of the kennel was in total darkness. This is where all the dogs could be found. All I could see was clumps of fur and faeces everywhere. At the back I could only see a pair of eyes peering out at me. We eventually managed to get a couple of these dogs to come to the front of the kennel. They were emaciated. Their fur was either totally matted or hanging out in clumps. Worse still when they tried to bark at us nothing happened except for a tiny hoarse croak. They had all been devocalised.
She shook constantly from side to side. This was not out of fear but was due to what must have been a mental disorder. I asked myself if this had been inflicted upon her or had she simply gone mad as a result of her life in that place. She looked old; she showed no spark, no reactions, no sign of life was left.
Huntingdon's British employees were filmed punching a beagle dog in the face and simulating a sex act during test procedures.
In the experiments, juvenile baboons and cynomolgus monkeys are transplanted with genetically engineered piglet hearts and kidneys: over a quarter of the primates die as a result of the surgery.
The survivors are heavily dosed with cocktails of toxic anti-rejection drugs, but die from complications related to drug side-effects, infection, rejection, hemorrhage, and organ failure, most within hours or days of their surgeries. Diarrhea, vomiting, body tremors, weakness, swelling, wounds seeping blood and pus, collapses, rapid involuntary eye movements, breathing difficulties, grinding of teeth - are some of the other recorded list of agonies these animals endure.
Animals are described as quiet, huddled, shivering, unsteady and in spasm. Some had swellings, bruising or were seen with blood or puss seeping from wounds. Others vomited, or suffered from diarrhoea.
Baboon X201m was carried to the operating table, where it took five hours to cut away its healthy heart and replace it with the heart of a pig.
I participated in the carelessly conducted experiments that are wasting your tax dollars. Unskilled, poorly trained animal technicians, not scientists, are forced by the management to perform the assembly-line style research at a break neck pace. No time is permitted for accuracy so mistakes are common.
Babies are prematurely weaned— frequently making them ill—and put in small cages. Distressed and bewildered they cry out for their mothers in vain. Experts within the industry agree that isolation during infancy is directly linked to psychosis and self-mutilation in later life, but most are never paired.
Almost all of the caged monkeys used for research live alone, in cramped and barren 4.3 cubic foot cages. Their days are filled with boredom, broken only with moments of fear when they are being manipulated for a study or having their cages hosed down with them inside.
The laboratory environment causes monkeys to display depression, aggression and bizarre behavior such as penis-sucking, pacing, circling, rocking, drinking their urine, eating and painting with their feces, abusing their offspring, eye-poking, pulling their hair out, and biting and attacking themselves.”
For rodents, life was like a factory farm. A breeding mouse would give birth to six litters in six months, and then killed. In just 34 weeks, our investigator estimates that he saw almost 2,500 animals being killed, or taken away to be killed, just because they were surplus to requirements. Most were suffocated to death with CO2, others had their necks broken. Babies had their heads cut off with scissors; their little heads and bodies simply dropped into a plastic bag, twitching and their mouths gasping”.
One licensee holds a Home Office licence in the 'substantial pain' category - the highest level of pain allowed. He investigates the effects of hormones on inflammatory diseases like arthritis, and uses rats and mice in two types of experiments: Mice, male and female, usually supplied by Tuck or Harlan Olac. Some batches of male mice are castrated, and some females given a hysterectomy. They then have pieces of cartilage implanted into their body which is supposed to imitate the inflammation caused by arthritis. This researcher was also practising different castration techniques, such as castrating some mice by making an incision in the back, as mortality rates during the initial operation were high. Female rats are supplied by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, some.
Multiple Sclerosis Research, funded by MS Society. Young female "Lewis" rats are used. They are injected in the base of the spine with a mixture of mashed up guinea-pig spinal cord, an adjuvant, and bacterium, which causes an immunological response inside the brain. This is supposed to be a model for multiple sclerosis and results in most of the rats becoming totally or partially paralysed with their muscles wasting away. Some rats however, appear normal and run around as usual. The rats are divided into groups and housed four to a cage - some control groups, and some groups being dosed orally with drugs to see if this helps remedy the paralysis.
In the worst stages the rats drag themselves around the cage floor pitifully, and often become incontinent, soiling the fur around their back legs and tails. Their little bodies become twisted and "hunch-back" like. At this stage they have to be fed soft diet (soaked pellets) as they cannot reach the food hopper. Also, longer rabbit bottle bungs must be put on their water bottles so that they can drink.
“This room contained hundreds of rats nearing the end of their lifespan, nearly all were obese and tumour-ridden and the room had an overpowering stench of death. In a study that had lasted over two years, these poor animals had spent virtually their whole lives in this room. Kept on wire grid floors, many had developed foot sores; the worst were given paper tissue to sit on but it made little difference, as they just chewed it up. Some bore tumours which had actually ruptured. A couple of rats were virtually incapacitated by the size of their tumours - one was so large that the animal could barely walk. On being asked if it should be put down, the technician in charge replied that because the study had nearly ended the animals were being left "until they dropped"
Oral dose study in female rats. A repeat experiment for further investigation. Animals were divided into seven groups to test two anti-diabetic drugs. Again, a rubber tube is forced down into the rats' stomachs and a measured dose of compound delivered via a syringe. As the study neared conclusion, rats in the high dose group developed large hard, fatty lumps behind their shoulders. These animals were also nearly twice the size of other rats. One rat was blinded in one eye during orbital sinus bleed”
"Effects included lethargy, hair standing on end, swollen necks and abdomens. Those given high doses had orange fur and tails, with brick red faeces and urine." The substance was considered so harmful that the staff cleaning out the animal's pens had to wear oxygen suits. Canthaxanthin was banned at the beginning of December 1988 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) yet HRC were still happily poisoning animals with it six months later.
Another experiment for the tranquilliser Fiucto Trazepam which was a two year chronic toxicity study. Clinical reports recorded: "rats having fits after dosing for up to one minute" and "cages 85, 95 and 100 had large amounts of dark red blood on their trays." The animal's condition was recorded as "gross and ill with greasy wet fur standing on end." One technician described the animals in this room as: "rotting but still alive."
She was returned to her previous statue-like state. Although her head was bowed I could see a single tear falling from her left eye.”
” When I toured the facility, what I actually saw was that the monkeys were almost all singularly caged and resultantly displaying neurotic behaviors. The well-being plan also stated that foraging devices intended to distract monkeys from self-abusive behavior were to be routinely, regularly provided, especially to the singularly housed animals.
He said that monkeys were sick because of the winter rains and lots of babies were dying. I went out to the Primate Center to take a look for myself. I cited in my report, “…Corrals 5,3,6,4 and 1 were excessively wet and muddy…Most adult monkeys appeared to have wet muddy tails buttocks and feet…about 40 percent of the monkeys in Corral 5 and 3 have alopecia (hair loss).”
The Center was experiencing an outbreak of listeria and 10 of 82 females in Corral 5 had stillbirths as a result. I counted the numbers sick with listeria, shigella, campylobacter, diarrhea and dehydration and confirmed the complaint’s validity on all counts. I dug up the sick and death tolls of previous winters and discovered that for the monkeys housed outdoors, many more monkeys get sick and die during winter months than in summer. I summed it up in my report to say the statistics “…cause question if the monkeys are truly acclimatized to the weather conditions here in Oregon.”
Description
All of the monkeys are killed in this experiment. Hering states that
before slaughter they may experience "pain, distress, discomfort,
depression, anorexia, hyperglycemia and ketosis, hypoglycemia,
thrombosis, or infection." Another chapter in the downward spiral
of horrifying xenotransplantation failures.
"Malish was lying down on his stomach on a special device that was attached to him through the ears, eyes and mouth. His head was fixed about ten centimeters above the device. At the beginning they shaved his head and cleaned it. The cut through the skin and flesh and exposed his skull. In the skull they drilled two holes using an electrical drill. In one hole they inserted a screw that is used to attach him to the chair and keep him immobilized, and in the second hole they inserted a chamber leading to the brain cavity. They inserted a steel wire into his eye to make him look straight."
"In order to fix the chambers inside the two holes they screwed 20 more screws in his skull using an electric drill. They covered everything with a red plastic cover. The surgery took 6 hours. The atmosphere in the room was great. The veterinarians explained such basic things to the researchers regarding the anesthesia, that even as a failing veterinarian technician I was astonished at their lack of knowledge. They were joking a lot among themselves. The researchers were telling about all kinds of medical screw-ups they did in the past which cost some monkeys their lives. I was sitting on the side, hoping not to faint."
Several days later Jade [one of the other monkeys in the laboratory] underwent surgery. He had three holes in his head: one used to keep him restrained in the chair and two others used to insert probes. Tanya cleaned the holes with oxygen water that fermented inside his brain. I wasn't even able to film it out of panic. Then she injected him with a substance that paralyzed his brain cells, according to a sketch she had. That day she injected the substance to the wrong place. The monkey started drooling and almost fainted. He didn't do the assignments he was trained to do. Tanya didn't even know exactly where she injected the substance to and started lecturing me about the different parts of the brain. She said: "This is very interesting, maybe it is worth checking". That is the typical way - experimenting and mistaking".
