Big Gunns has heard of a couple of studies being done with snakes to see if they can live in the cold. He read somewhere that they are keeping snakes in a pit in the Carolinas to see if they can live through the winter. BG is sure they're dead by now.
Now someone tell BG how this can't be considered animal cruelty. There is no way they would leave dogs or cats in a pit to see if they would live. PETA would be all over it. You can call it a scientific study all you want, but to BG, if you know an animal is freezing to death and you let it die. IT'S ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!!!
The microchipped animals that were set free might be a little different(although not much), but any animal kept outside in a locked pen to see if will live through the cold is just morally wrong. Like BG said before. There is NO WAY this is done with any other animal. No WAY!!!!!!!!! These "scientist" should be called out on this.
I don't know about recently, but I do recall reading a study done to this effect sometime ago. I am sure someone could find it with a Google search?
