RIP Laika. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Justice for Laika. She suffered for the sake of our morbid curiosity and absence of morals and empathy. I hope the pigs that sent her lived in regret for the rest of their lives.

RIP Laika 

Thank you for making this thread and helping to keep her memory alive and stop her sacrifice from being buried.

Well, as per Wikipedia:

"In 1998, after the collapse of the Soviet regime, Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists responsible for sending Laika into space, expressed regret for allowing her to die:

Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I'm sorry about it. We shouldn't have done it [...] We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog."

I randomly think about Laika like once or twice a year… guess this is this years. Rest in Peace girly

How ****ing awful. I'd known of Laika but I didn't know the rest of these details. Poor babygirl, she looks like both of my client's dogs put together esp with her little ears folded forwards. 

... and "no plans were made for her return"... rotten bastards.
