		<description>I wish scientists who do this would die a horrible death!! 93% of animal experiments that pass, FAIL when used in humans. If a person can kill a living being &amp; make them suffer while looking in their eyes, they are heartless bastards.</description>

		<description>Sadly and I wish it wasn&#039;t, but I think it&#039;s real. I love dogs and it hurts my soul to see this innocent and emotional animal going through that.

If it&#039;s fake, that dog is acting/reacting in way that he was beaten to within an inch of it&#039;s life into pure submission for the purpose of making it look like he had obvious disabilities due to the fact that he was supposedly beheaded.

The sad truth though, is that it&#039;s real and that dog was truly f**ked up. If the dog was ok, it would be looking around wide eyed with curiosity. They poked at his eyes and he barely blinked. They put citric acid on his nose and gums and there&#039;s an obvious unnatural delay before he even attempts to lick at it. With the feather, that wouldn&#039;t be the normal response for any dog. The light, the hammer.. It&#039;s all the same unnatural responses. Fake or real, a normal dog that&#039;s nervous would be panting, of which he did none. This dog was in utter fear  and pain and pure agony and I can almost sense him waiting  for.. longing for death. He had simply given up.

Very VERY sad... And sometimes people wonder why I have the ability to love and respect animals more than humans. If a big guy threatened and charged at me, I&#039;d shoot him in the head and sleep fine that same night. If I ran over a dog, I would have serious trouble sleeping for DAYS and it would be burned in my memory for years to come.

Ethics/Morals of torturing the innocent creatures of this earth VS the scientific benefits for man... I just don&#039;t know where the line should be drawn. Or even IF it should be drawn in the first place. Anyway I look at it, I&#039;ll never be &quot;proud&quot; of our advancements.</description>

		<description>The citric acid label shifts to russian language translation of citric acid. It is a SOVIET VIDEO, and the language barrier at that point was very restricted. I read somewhere that all this shows is they have a pump to circulate blood and technically keep someone alive, as anonymous stated it was developed for artificial heart and lung machines. People are so analytical to find things wrong when there is nothing wrong with it.. looks very original and there is information of such tests existing so why wouldnt this video be real? Besides being unbelievable , think about how they developed artificial breathing and such machines.. what kind of sick tests they probably did where living things died or were tortured for the sake of saving humans in the future? ALOT.. but its ok.. we dont worry how our meat is delivered from a living animal when we buy at supermarkets.</description>

		<description>See that black border behind the dog&#039;s head?  See the white above the black border?  That white is what&#039;s known in show business as a &quot;backdrop&quot;.  The head is obviously not severed--this video is an example of Soviet propoganda.  Let&#039;s not forget that the Soviet Union also claimed to be developing precognition and other scientific impossibilities, and rushed to put a man in orbit with little if any concern for whether the man would actually be able to make it back alive, solely in an effort to prove themselves technologically superior to capitalist countries--the US in particular.</description>

		<description>i am very tired of this.. right now.. seriously why can&#039;t human beings just stop being.. so cruel? why must all of us .. do this kind of experiment to these harmless and loyal animals... gosh.. why can&#039;t human beings just stop these .. stupid activities.. animals have their own thinking.. what if your head got chopped off... and you&#039;re still alive? people use a hammer knot your head... seriously.. these scientists.. do not deserve to have a life and they should think more carefully before they do something.. are they smart? i don&#039;t think they are...</description>

		<description>The dog was obviously heavily restrained...probably with tied up or something, poor dog.
And they just crammed its head on the table through a hole, or hid its body with an early version of green screen :) (aka white board or something)
The only thing that really bothered the dog enough to lift its head was the hammer.
Maybe they sedated it so it was as calm and half dead as it acted. Because most dogs would be squirming frantically in that position, or maybe once they had tied it up, they left it there for a couple of hours.
In any case, I&#039;m calling the dog abuse hot-line :(</description>

		<description>okay first off, the human brain can survive 3 days after being dead, it still moves electricity through its host. same could be the same for the dog.

this is one of the very first experiments of artificial organs tested on of coarse animals, it not wrong, it helps us understand what we can do to make ourselves more immortal as a being.

the head you see is able to move because it has a neck, their are still muscles enough to jerk left and right and to even lick itself, this is a real video.</description>

		<description>well... since the head is attached to the pumps etc. It seems slightly possible that the force of pushing away or pulling towards with the jaw would make the head move but not be able to lift without those muscles.. its a pretty amazing video, I dont think we would ever know if its real or not but its not to far off..</description>

		<description>While parts of the video are undoubtedly staged, the experiment is real. It was performed for both the Soviet medical board and various groups of western scientists, and lead to the development of artificial H&amp;L machines.</description>
