...the nightmarish suffering endured by a dog named Dixie who was drained of all her blood and then infused with new blood, causing her to suffer severe seizures and brain damage:
"5:05 AM. Dixie is awake. Lifting her head up, fighting the endotracheal tube. Very restless."
"1:00 PM. … She exhibits a peculiar 'windmilling' motion with her forelegs. Suddenly, she tenses, the left side of her body goes rigid. Within a second she has a full-fledged grand mal seizure."
"2:50 PM. Another grand mal. This is looking bad. There is clearly some right brain injury. Her left face is slack, though her left limbs look okay with normal movement and response to pain."
"5:38 PM. Another grand mal, several petit seizures as well. … Hugh and I head off into town to the Spaghetti Factory. What a relief just to be away for a few hours. Everything is so elegant at the restaurant and all the personnel are so clean cut and attractive. … Returning from dinner we find Dixie is a real handful -- managing her I.V.'s, keeping her fed, cleaning her up when she urinates or defecates. Every five minutes there's a major task at hand."
"11:26 PM. The primadone isn't working. Seizures, seizures and more seziures. Valium, Valium, and Valium."
"12:00 midnight. She wakes me up crying. Belly very distended."
"1:36 AM. She's restless and crying again. I decide to pass a stomach tube and suction her. … She fights me powerfully, but the job gets done."

How can people do things like this and sleep at night? I would kill myself if I ever became so heartless.

People who abuse maim traumatize and kill animals are sociopaths. They have no guilt remorse or compunction. They will only resort to suicide as a means to avoid imprisonment or some other misfortune that besets their selfish lives.

This is more horrifying than anything Eli Roth has imagined and I have seen both the Hostel films. We would be appalled if a baby was tortured like this a dog is defenseless like a baby. These people who do these experiments must have the type of mindset that Nazis and the people who worked at Unit 731 did.

This is TERRIBLE! This has to stop! Why haven't these people been charged with animal cruelty? If someone on the street did this to an animal they would be in big trouble. One animals life and well being is no more important than any otherall living things are equal and should be treated that way. And these people are no different than anyone on the street.Why do they think they are so damn special they get to torture animals? EGOS! ANIMAL ABUSERS! This is barbaric! Mad as HELL!

Words cannot even express how I feel right now. That poor dog having to endure all that pain scared alone. I'm so happy that PETA is involved.

Please stay on this case! After reading what happened to my uncle Ted Williams at the hands of Alcor I believe they are in serious need of oversight and supervision.

When I die I am perfectly willing to follow the light or sleep in peace until Gabriel blows his horn and we are all called back to face final judgement. The Bible says God will restore our bodies for this event in perfect health and form. That being the case I don't need cryogenics.

Steve Harris is a sick mentally ill man. He needs help. People with far fewer problems have been hospitalized. He sounds like a serial killer. What kind of human being could do these things? Do he experiment on his children too? It wouldn't surprise me!

I just don't understand.. It even says that it is not guaranteed that this process is completely applicable on humans. So why is it even useful to put these animals through the kind of process?

Whats really sadbesides people can be so very cruel to begin withis the law protects these abusers to do this crap.This world is full of so called humanswho justify all kinds of cruelty toward animals and even try to tell us these are only animals or they don't feel pain like us.BULL CRAP!These research labs hide behind a buntch of bull crap and the lawplaying these cruel actsplaying like its to help us.Our laws need change and they need to end all cruelty to animals and unborn babies! animals and these babies bleed as we dothey feel pain as we do they need their heart and organs to be working properally to livethey need to eatdrink to stay aliveas we do. they cry out in pain as we do. they are afraid as we are sometimes.Just because animals are a different living thingdoes not give permission to abuse and use. Animal can sniff out cancerecthumans can't do that.You think humans can be as loyal and unconditional to each other of its own kindlike animalshell NO.Do you honestly think these animals don't feel pain or fear?Abusers will tell you anything to get away with what they want to do.You have some bad animalsbut you also have bad people too.Abuse is abuseno matter who does it or for what reasonit's WRONG!

I'm so enraged by this article I dont even have the energy to write a long comment. The cruel things people are capable of never cease to amaze disgust me. Everytime I hear of these experiments being done on these poor animals I just think "What's the damn point?" A dog bleeding to death in some lab WONT help me in ANY way. These people need to be stopped ASAP.

Please put an end to this sickness !!!!!!!!!! Anyone who does evil is pure evil. That is a given. Those of us who know better and have a good sense of morals and a conscience must no longer tolerate and ignore perverted sick acts like this. We must demand an end to such acts and furthermore punishment for anyone doing these things!!

The 538PM report above is very telling of the mindset of the experimenters. They head off for the Spaghetti Factory where everything is so elegant clean cut and attractive. Honestly how can anyone even think of eating in the midst of such obvious suffering in this poor dog?

I typed in ALCOR ANIMAL TESTING into google and found many recent articles they publish on the web themselves. The people who "work" at this company seem very proud of what they do. Odd. You can read their papers for yourself and then click and send a comment. They must ahve practiced a lot. The reports I read show the animals are drained of fluuid cooled for several hours brought back and then they boast about the dogs being adopted by staff members. They also found a local vet clinic to give them a unit of dog blood for a doberman Star who was having a really bad reaction to their "work." It is sickening stuff to read but I thoroughly enjoyed using the comments link.

Hello I am very close friends with the author of the tellall book FROZEN My Journey into the World of Cryonics Deception and Death. I feel that he has done the right thing by exposing these people to what they have done to these animals in their so called "lab." Unfortunately he will pay dearly for his whistleblowing as I am sure these people will come after him both physically and legally. Please support PETA's efforts to bring justice to those who have committed these God awful acts. Please petition the lawmakers in Arizona and California to put an end to their madness by strict regulation. If they refuse to cooperate the only other choice is to shut them down.
