Germany doesn’t exactly have a very good record on human experimentation.

Mind you the testing was done by an American lab, not by VW.

What’s worse is that unlike Germany, we sweep things under the rug that hardly anyone remembers these atrocities.

From the BBC article:

“Reacting to the NYT report about the monkey experiments, VW tweeted on Saturday that it “explicitly distances itself clearly from all forms of animal abuse”.

So humans are still fair game, huh?

Also, there is no response from BMW in the article.

Reuters reported that the testing was done in relation to workplace safety, it cars. And the lab wasn’t run by the automakers.
