Vivisection: Science’s Cruel Experimentation Vivisection: Science’s Cruel Experimentation Since the development of knives, scientists have used cruel methods in the name of science. Billions of animals have been sliced, burned, crushed, electrocuted, tortured with drugs, poisoned with toxic chemicals, tormented in psychological testing, and subjected to various other atrocities that “scientists” have developed. This process is known as animal research, renamed from its initial and primitive title of vivisection (Vyvyan 33). This barbaric practice has been renamed to hide the truth: vivisection has been inherently cruel, wasteful, and perpetually invalid as a reliable source. Although vivisection has been in existence since the beginning of time, awareness of this injustice to animals didn’t come about until the nineteenth century. During this time period, the French were notorious for their practices of vivisection. Stories of the experiments spread in French hospitals, and these stories caused a few scientists to rush to the vomitorium. Many vivisectors of that time period allowed medical students as well as “people of fashion” into their laboratories to view the “outre” entertainment (Vyvyan 3). People were horrified and disgusted in the Victorian Age when they learned of the studies being done in private laboratories. animals, animal, vivisection, research, scientists, human, cruel, vivisectors, np, experimentation, been, public, cats, tests, studies, species, science, one, laboratories, humans, experiments, because, about, testing, test, stevens, people, non-human, methods, leone, death, bender, vyvyan, united, time
