===Drilling open the heads of cats===
In Germany experiments, the heads of cats are drilled open and a glass plate is applied. Pictures are shown to the cat and the brain is filmed through the glass plate. The cats are killed after 30 to 45 minutes. Martin Rausch of Novartis Pharma AG, Basel, Switzerland, participated in these experiments. <ref>Neuro Report 2001: 12, 1693-1698</ref>, <ref>[http://novartiskills.com/Crimes.htm Novartis: A Chronicle of Crimes: Animal Torture], Novartiskills.com, acessed accessed January 2010</ref>
