Living Dog Head, Elephants on LSD, Vomit Drinking Doctor, etc.

297 milligrams is a lot of LSD — about 3000 times the level of a typical human dose. In fact, it remains the largest dose of LSD ever given to a living creature. The researchers figured that, if they were going to give an elephant LSD, they better not give him too little.

Thomas, West, and Pierce later explained that the experiment was designed to find out if LSD would induce musth in an elephant — musth being a kind of temporary madness male elephants sometimes experience during which they become highly aggressive and secrete a sticky fluid from their temporal glands. But one suspects a small element of ghoulish curiosity might also have been involved.

Whatever the reason for the experiment, it almost immediately went awry. Tusko reacted to the shot as if a bee had stung him. He trumpeted around his pen for a few minutes, and then keeled over on his side. Horrified, the researchers tried to revive him, but about an hour later he was dead. The three scientists sheepishly concluded that, "It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD."

Well duh..... Tosspots!

The transplanted puppy torso,and the dog head thing was horrid. I watched the video link at the end of #3 :-2



Poor things.:-1

I looked at the The Isolated Head of a Dog study and the comparison to the Terri Schiavo case which I'd never heard of before.

How sad was that? :-1

I enjoyed reading that, but as it's on a museum of hoaxes page, are they true?

I was really enjoying being indignant and scoffing at mans inhumanity and stupidity.
