Under the pseudonym Pawel, an activist for the rights of animals has worked as a nurse at the Institute of Biological Cybernetics Max Planck Institute for about six months, recorded with a hidden camera experiments performed on some macaques.

The results of his research were published in a video by the group in defense of animal rights SOKO under the title "basic research, the wrong base.".

The video and the pictures show, among other things, what happens when the skull of a macaque is opened and inserted into his brain a few electrodes.
In Germany, about 3.1 million vertebrate animals have been "used" for experimental purposes in 2012; the majority of these were mice and rats.

In experiments conducted at the Institute of Cybernetics, which mainly studies the learning processes from a neurological point of view, it is sometimes denied water to the monkeys until some begin to lick metal parts and to drink their own urine, as shown in the video recently published .

The institute said in an email that the occurrence of the "so-called lack of sutures, according to our scientists, rarely happens." When we asked if the monkeys used for experiments all died in the lab, Dr. Christine Beck There He responded that "none of the animals may be released in its habitat, then yes, all the monkeys end their lives in the laboratory.
But the research conducted in the laboratories of Tübingen have brought some benefits to human-therapies tested thanks to basic research at the Max Planck Institute. ".
But, I think, can be done with more humane methods, I leave you to the video (contains heavy images).
