Xenotransplantation
Between 1994 and 2000, hundreds of higher primates
were subjected to grotesque xenotransplantation experiments. Hearts
and kidneys from genetically engineered piglets were transplanted
into the necks, abdomens and chests of monkeys and baboons captured
from the wild. The results were truly appalling. All photos in this
section credit Organ Farm.
