5 people think this is animal cruelty!

@AiBhai have you ever even walked into a lab? i am part of an animal welfare coalition and clearly you are ignorant..Please inform yourself. the animal is a complete hostage and the neurology of these monkeys will be studied-that means killing them and examining the brain..it is so evil these labs are subterranean-(um that means no sunshine if you don't know) & they are kept in tiny stainless steel cages.you are a dipshit-this is about "behavioral control through manipulating neurofunction"

@shantiz123 aight punk

first of all, theres no chip IN his brain.

second of all(and this ones really obvious{dumbshit}), the monkey is not having its movements controlled /duhhh/ the entire point of this video is to show that the monkey is controlling the robotic arm while still retaining full control of its body.

third of all, when they do testing such as this, the animals get plenty of sunshine, exercise, and contact with others they also dont chop off their heads. you are clearly very stupid

@Munkatten and how would you know this? you show me some solid proof than ill be like 'aight respect' but you dont have any!

[shantiz123]

@AiBhai[ let's confine your dumb ass to a seat and strap you in. and put a microchip plant in your dipshit brain so we can control your movements. You will live your life in a cage, no fresh air, no exercise or sunshine or contact with another person ever again.you will shit and eat in the same place day after day..then they will chop your head off when they are done with you so they can study your dipshit brain..but hey- you WILL BE GETTING FED LIKE A KING! fucking moron

why cant we see the top of the monkey's head? using animals in researches should be banned. they dont need any of these stuff. we should use humans.

It's actually research for people with disabilities.
