his image shows the face of a sheep as it was Tasered after it was pumped with methamphetamine drugs. Researchers commissioned in part by Taser International conducted a study using 16 sheep that were fueled with the drug, then observed to see if the animals suffered “dangerous cardiac responses”.
From Popular Science:
There’s at least some scientific reasoning behind all the apparent madness. Growing abuse of methamphetamines has led to arrest-related deaths in situations where law enforcement officers used their Tasers on drug-intoxicated suspects. The latest study was designed to test whether electronic control devices (e.g. Tasers) can lead to dangerous cardiac responses in meth-intoxicated humans, with sheep standing in for people.
The results, which appear in the current issue of Academic Emergency Medicine, found that non of the shocks given off by Tasers are strong enough to cause death on a meth-abuser

I'd have thought tasering anything -human, animal, fish!- would lead to dangerous cardiac responses, isn't that the whole point of a taser? this is sickening! and incredibly unecessary

Awful. Just awful that they still test animals with these barbaric things. And tasers? Really? On what planet do they think that this is a good idea? Just stop using them already.

Mad. I wish they just stop using the damn tasers?, they're barbaric if you saw someone get tasered you'd think the same thing.
