Unethical' practice of causing 'Massive Mutilation and Injury' to the Pigs and other Animals.
The MoD have admitted to blowing up 119 live pigs in explosives tests, wrapping pigs in materials used to make body armour, such as Kevlar, to determine how effective it is at reducing damage from IEDs stating they had 'saved many lives' in Afghanistan and Iraq and led to improvements in body armour and the medical treatment of soldiers injured by roadside.
The research took place at the Government's secret military research laboratory Porton Down, near Salisbury, Wiltshire and Government figures show more than 50,000 animals, including sheep, monkeys and cattle, have been subject to experiments at Porton Down in the past four years and continue.
Subjecting animals to such massive mutilation and injury also raises profound ethical questions of the price animals can end up paying as a result of humans' inhumanity towards other humans.' and should be banned.
