Animals have been reportedly burned, disfigured, and left to die in the University of Texas' Medical Branch. Experimenters inflicted pigs, mice, and sheep to various third degree burns on most of their bodies. Sheep were also forced into inhaling smoke and dogs were victims of painful surgeries where no anesthetics were used. One dog died in pain after surgery because experimenters were unable to use the monitoring devices properly. This is not an unusual predicament for animals at several major universities. The University of Utah and University of Arizona also conduct this type of cruel torture in the name of science.

UPDATE: Thanks to animal rights activists around the globe, the two latter universities are no longer testing on animals to half the extent they were. The University of Utah has pledged not to adopt animals from shelters via the "pound seizure" law, and the University of Arizona has invested money in humane teaching equipment.
