Harry Harlow deliberately isolating primates in isolation chambers for a year or more at the University of Wisconsin, a university which has also tasered pigs for the Justice Department, , Dr Ommaya smashing primates, Dr Alfred Blalock at Johns Hopkins using a machine he developed to test the number of pounds a dog's bones could take before breaking, Dr Robert White creating two headed monkeys, dogs, etc, none of whom lived more than a few days, doctors irradiating chimps
at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, primates kept in restraining chairs for months in astronaut studies.. their legs cramping as they sleep, eat and pass waste in these chairs,... these are only a sliver of the sadistic things done to animals in the name of medical research by pseudoscientists who ignore luminescent bacteria scans, computer models, the Ames bacteria test and hundreds of other nonanimal alternatives which
are cheaper, faster, and more accurate in their results.

Animals have been forced to swim til they drown, subjected to all the torture techniques used by our government and other torture governments. Constant harsh noise, harsh bright lights, immersion in cold, forced sleeplessness, electric shocks, being hung from hooks, no food or water are some of these.

Wikipedia.com and others:
"The Pit Of Despair was coined by Harry Harlow for a vertical chamber he designed to induce depression in monkeys at the University of Wisconsin in the 1970's. He meant it to recreate 'an animal model of clinical depression.'
A 3/8 in. wire mesh floor 1 in. above the bottom of the chamber allowed waste material to drop through the drain and out of holes drilled in the stainless-steel. The chamber was equipped with a food box and a water-bottle holder, and was covered with a pyramid top [removed in the accompanying photograph], designed to discourage incarcerated subjects from hanging from the upper part of the chamber.
Harlow had already placed newly born monkeys in isolation chambers for up to one year. With the pit of despair, he placed monkeys between three months and three years old in the chamber alone, after they had bonded with their mothers, for up to ten weeks. Within a few days, they had stopped moving about and remained huddled in a corner."
