in #news7 years ago

In the VW 10 monkeys breathe in the exhaust chambers of a diesel engine to test emissions of toxicity in tests that were later discredited.

Wolkswagen is an employee from Germany, he apologized after the media reported that he was an accomplice in a brutal experiment and was found guilty of cruel treatment of animals.

"Never will such a method be scientific," the company said in a statement. "It would be better to abandon such a test from the very beginning."

The New York Times published a story about a research center in Albuquerque where 10 monkeys were locked in an airtight container, watching cartoons to distract them when they were breathing smoke from the Volkswagen Beetle.

The protracted scandal continued, as it was proved that the trial was falsified. The car was adjusted in such a way that during the test to emit less smoke. This practice was disclosed in 2015 and caused an international litigation and a number of problems for the company.

The test was conducted by the Lovelace Research Institute of Respiratory Diseases in the US state of New Mexico. German automakers Daimler and BMW also supported and financed the project, although VW led the organization with the help of the European Research Institute.

Lower Saxony, which is also a major owner of Volkswagen, requires full disclosure of information about the tests of 2014 and assurances that such tests will never be repeated.

"10 monkeys breathe emissions of cars for several hours to prove that they have reduced the amount of toxic emissions, terribly and absurdly"
