Animals for science
This program is about science and the procedure for animal testing for the military. It was produced in 1957. If you are looking for people of color you are in luck, they have one, only one. He is known as the technician and is inside with the animals whereas the white, causations are outside looking in through a window. The whole beginning of the program was about how the scientist wanted a setup for sterilization before they go inside where the animals were. The scientist wants to setup a disease-free colony and they do that with a lot of sterilization. I was grossed out for a bit because I do not like any kind of surgery, even with animals. They open up a mouse to perform a C section and they show the whole thing. Me not be being a fan of blood and surgery skipped a bit until after the surgery. This is when things started to get interesting. So biological mother is dead so they have to get a replacement mother so they have to put a female mouse inside a nicer cage with no smell so that when they put the newborn mice in the female mouse will think as if they were her own. They also have to separate the mice 4 to 1. Which is four females to one male per separation because before they get separated, they were in an incubator and some of the mice are not alive after the incubation process. In the end of the program we see military personnel come by to pick up some animals that scientists requested, and we saw them being shipped off to a laboratory. I think this might be the start of animal cruelty based on what I saw, but this was the late ‘50s where animal cruelty where it did not even exist. (jm136)
