From the Paper:

"It's hard to imagine the cruelty some animals are subjected to during experimentation. Last year, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a researcher was videotaped "using scissors to cut the heads off conscious, unanaesthetized animals before removing their brains (Heyde, 2002)." The researcher admitted doing it for convenience, though it violated university protocol."
