Thought this photo's so cute. Hur hur.
Today's Cognitive was done on experimentation and while I was researching on the examples of experimentation, man, I was blown away. Literally.
While I’ve heard of terms like animal testing and all that shit, I never believed how it could affect or in any other way, harm animals. I thought that by having an ‘animal testing’, it means like applying make-up on rhesus monkeys and see if there’s any irritation to their skin or whatsoever.
To me, that doesn’t sound as if the researchers are harming them physically. It was more of a humiliation for the monkeys –which ultimately means that there isn’t any sign of respect for animals.
However, I was reading up on Brown Dog Affair and I got kind of upset. Just because researchers want to discover something new (MAYBE in attempt to get a freaking Nobel award) they open up bodies, take this organ out, sew it back, then take it out again etc.
Wiki Brown Dog Affair, but just to sum it up, Brown Dog affair is an experiment which was done on a brown terrier whereby this researcher, William Bayliss (who discovered hormones; god knows what he did to discover them), took a stray as his object to experiment on. So, he took the brown dog, sliced it up open infront of the group of a medical students to cut off the pancreatic duct.
Take into consideration that this dog wasn’t under any sort of anaesthesia. The poor creature was definitely in great amount of pain.
A year later, he took the same dog out again. The dog -strapped by its legs, stretched across table with its mouth muzzled (he was howling from the time he had his pancreatic duct cut off and the purpose of the muzzle is to shut the poor dog up); again, he was sliced up again, apparently to ‘inspect on the previous experiment’. That William Bastard then went on cut an opening in the dog’s neck to expose its salivary gland.
He tried to do an experiment on the dog which failed in the end. I’m guessing that he was pissed off that a cut upped dog without anaesthesia was no longer that ‘functional’ as it was before, which gave him the reason to pass the dog to one of his students which ultimately killed the dog in the end, with a knife. Of course, that was done AFTER he cut out the dog’s pancreas while still under no form of anaesthesia.
Wow, that's the highest form of cruelty anyone could EVER POSSIBLY come up with. Only someone with a brain of a freak is able to come up with that. That being said, it doesn't mean that I'm judging Edison now.
I can't imagine if someone does that to either one of my dogs. I'll probably stuff shit in their mouths and make them swallow it. Then I'll make sure that they'll never be able to spread their seed anywhere now.
Having to witness my previous dog get into a car crash is enough to put me to tears - to witness how he got under a car when the car hit him; still burns in my memory.
This helped me understand how car-accidents witnesses can be so traumatised till there is a need for counselling.
That's prolly the first time where I cried so hard for a living thing.
DEPRESSING, DEPRESSING, DEPRESSING.
MEH, I'm so bored now. I need a new toy to play with.
For a change, instead of wanting more eyeliners (I've got like 7 which I have yet to finish using them :S), I wanna have Guitar Hero in my room. I've seen my older brother playing Guitar Hero on his laptop.
With all due respect Sir, what is the effing point of playing Guitar Hero on your friggin keyboard? The 'feel' isn't the same! Its just pressing keypads! You can't even pretend that you're Slash! Whadahell.
OWELL.
