No More Rooting Pigs in Snow
Written by WTJ on January 15, 2010 – 11:21 pm -
Scientists had been conducting Avalanche experiments by burying pigs in snow at Austrian Alps. The purpose of the experiments was to find out the factors human are able to survive in an air pocket in snow without suffering permanent brain damage. Although anaesthesiologists said the pigs were sedated and anesthetized beforehand to minimize sufferings of the pigs, their experiments were protested by various animal rights groups. The growing media pressure forced scientists to stop the experiments.
