The animal rights organization spoke out against Chinese researchers' use of live animals, including pigs and dogs, as crash test dummies for cars.

that PETA cited in its letter to the researchers, live pigs were used"to acknowledge better the thoracoabdominal injury of the pediatric retrained by the belts in front crashes."

"The detected injuries were abrasion, contusion, laceration, bleeding and fracture," the study stated. "The results may be useful to learn the pediatric thoracoabdominal injuries, while the further studies concerning the pediatric injuries should be done in the future," the study said. "Despite the existence of sophisticated animal-free models – experimenters continue to fasten abused, frightened animals into car seats and crash them into walls until their bodies are bloody, bruised and mangled," PETA said.
