Live pigs blown up in government terrorism experiments - Polidicks

Live pigs are being blown up as part of a series of government terrorism experiments at Porton Down, the government's secret military research laboratory. Eighteen pigs wrapped in protective Kevlar blankets were blasted in a bid to help scientists understand more about the effects of bomb blasts on victims. The animals were placed less than three yards from an explosive. Before being blown up, tubes were inserted into their blood vessels and bladders, and their spleens were removed. A wire was also put into a major abdominal blood vessel to ensure the vessel became lacerated in the explosion. The Kevlar blankets were used to protect the animals from minor bomb debris and the animals were anaesthetised throughout. Scientists wanted to find out how long the animals survived when more than a third of their blood had drained from their bodies. Medics hope the experiments will help British soldiers in Afghanistan as well as casualties of terror attacks like the July 2005 bombing of the London Underground and a double-decker bus.

How you described it makes it seem REALLY messed up. But hey, the[b]y're[/b] just pigs.

Sounds awesome.

Anon will be all over this.

The Men Who Stare at Exploding Pigs

So? We used to do this to goats. Without kevlar blankets and anesthetics. With nuclear weapons.

The fastest way to make bacon has been discovered!

It'll be live prawns next.

So? Pigs are always used in the name of science, it's nothing new.

[QUOTE=honeybuns;19826320]Go away this isnt 4chan you kid[/QUOTE] It doesn't have to be 4chan. I didn't say this post. I meant the experiments themselves.

they were anesthetized, so it's not like they felt any pain.

who cares

This sounds cool. And it will help people out getting bombed.

Wait till PETA hears about this.

wait till peta hears about this

"the animals were anaesthetised throughout." Still bad, but hey

fucker

If it helps better the protection for people who cares?

how could they do that to innocent cops HURF DURF

Sounds useful.

Who cares? Animals gets tested all the time in the name of science. Hell you can't complain if you eat any meat product made from a pig, pig's get treated worse in farms anyway. At least these pigs died in the name of science, something good should come out of this.

What's that coming over the horizon? 101 angry PETA protestors. They kill pigs, because they're similar to humans (a bit) and they can monitor the ffects because they're similar.

this seems worse than what they are doing today. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYUSKWhb3sk[/media]

They removed their organs and stuck tubes down their vessels? :byodood:
