How do the public evaluate this incident by measuring the exhaust gas of monkeys?

Volkswagen uses monkeys to measure exhaust gas! Volkswagen, the world's largest automaker, has once again come under heavy fire from politicians and environmentalists. Volkswagen has funded experiments using monkeys and humans to inhale car exhaust for hours at a time.

German Chancellor Angela? Merkel saidThere is an urgent need for companies to reveal the extent of the reality of the experiments commissioned by the European Environmental and Health Research Group (EUGT), which is funded by Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW.

Her spokesman, Steff Seibert, said Monday: "These tests on monkeys and even humans are not ethical in any form. The indignation of many is quite understandable.

Volkswagen has come under intense scrutiny in the "emissionsgate" scandal, in which the automaker Volkswagen rigged the exhaust tests of some 11 million cars worldwide, cheating to make the cars meet air emissions test standards.

Volkswagen said Monday that a small internal group had mistakenly pushed through the implementation of the test, which was not in the spirit of Volkswagen. But industry observers say Volkswagen's explanations have little credibility because the experiments have been fully documented and shown to BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen executives, all of whom belong to the EUGT, an automotive lobby that has since been disbanded.

In the second round of testing, the animals were forced to inhale the exhaust fumes of the Ford F-250 for comparison, since the car was an older model and apparently did not have such a sophisticated filtration technology. According to the Süddeutsche Zeitung and radio station NDR, the monkeys were then anesthetized and intubated so that they could be examined for inflammatory markers in their blood. The lungs are then flushed and their bronchial tubes are examined.

As a cost-effective car that is loved by the public, you can do such a thing, how much trust the people give you, how much resistance you have to bear!

According to Reuters Frankfurt, Germany, on January 29**, Hans Dieter Petch, chairman of the supervisory board of Volkswagen AG, said in a statement on the 29th: "I will do everything possible to ensure a detailed investigation of this matter." ”

In response to a New York Times report, Pecch said: "Of course, whoever is responsible for this must be held accountable. The New York Times said the German automaker commissioned the tests using an organization called the European Transportation Industry Environmental and Health Research Group (EUGT).

The report, the study, conducted in 2014, was intended to defend diesel because it had previously been revealed that diesel exhaust was carcinogenic. The EUGT was disbanded last year.

The report cites the New York Times as saying that EUGT received all the funding from Volkswagen AG and German automakers Daimler and BMW. A spokesperson for the European Commission said that the Commission had taken note of reports of third-party testing and "hoped that the ministers of the countries concerned would explain what had happened [at the ministerial air quality summit in Brussels on the 30th]".

Representatives of General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Motors Co. said that day that they had not tested the effects of exhaust in humans or animals. Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW condemned the study on the 27th. This incident is the latest aftershock of the Volkswagen exhaust gas fraud scandal.

In an interview with the German newspaper **, Volkswagen's head of public relations, Thomas Steger, said that Volkswagen has promised never to test on animals again. Steger was quoted as saying: "We want to put an end to animal testing in the future.

Volkswagen said on the same day that some staff members were aware of the tests at the time.

I think the reason why Volkswagen's behavior is condemned by the public is because monkeys are so closely related to people, and even monkeys are more closely related to our whole body.

The New York Times reported that "the important thing that the scientists who conducted the experiment in the United States did not know was that the Beetle car supplied by Volkswagen had been modified to emit far less exhaust pollution in the laboratory than it would have been when it was actually driven." ”

First of all, the reason why people condemn this behavior of the general public, and think that it is immoral is because the whole body of the monkey is the same species as our human ancestors, so emotionally, it is not acceptable to use a monkey to detect exhaust gases. If it was replaced by a mouse, or some other unknown animal, a very ordinary animal, maybe no one would have such a big opinion.

According to the German news agency dpa, the European Transport Industry Environment and Health Federation (EUGT) was co-founded by Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW, with Volkswagen being the main financier. It is by nature a lobbying organization and was disbanded last year. At the beginning of the news, Volkswagen condemned the relevant tests, hoping to dissociate itself from EUGT.

But after digging into the roots, it was found that Volkswagen's public relations manager Steger had known about it long before the trial.

Secondly, I would like to say that experimenting with monkeys and other animals is actually immoral, because monkeys and other animals, even mice, are still alive. If we treat human beings differently from other life as a last resort, then treating other life differently again is suspected of being unfair to other animals.

In short, this time will be condemned by the public because the monkey is too close to us.

In fact, it is unethical to do so, and it is to be viewed in two parts.

Thomas Steg, a senior manager at Volkswagen who specializes in public relations and lobbying, admitted that he had known about the trial before it began in 2014. At present, Steg has resigned. Before resigning, he promised to investigate how the monkeys were tested and what happened after the test.

First of all, we need to consider why the public condemns this behavior. This is because the relationship between monkeys and people is too close, and even many people swear that people are changed by monkeys, so emotionally, most people of course find it difficult to accept this kind of poisonous monkey behavior, in fact, many people may think that let monkeys detect exhaust gas, we can also empathize.

Monkey inhales exhaust while watching cartoon. According to the BBC, last week, the New York Times published a report that in May 2015, LRRI, a research institute in New Mexico, USA, conducted an exhaust gas hazard test on ten monkeys. The ten monkeys were locked in small sealed test chambers to watch cartoons for four hours at a time, inhaling diesel car exhaust.

One of the cars is a Volkswagen Beetle diesel car.

Secondly, in fact, in the process of human experiments, there are many experiments that do not fall, such as mice are often used for experiments in the laboratory, so why is it not life? But under the pretext that human beings can use them to test all kinds of drugs and test all kinds of environments, it is actually a manifestation of disrespect for their right to life and immoral.

In short, it is of course immoral for humans to use monkeys to detect exhaust gas, but there are actually too many immoral things in the scientific experiments done by humans, and I don't know how to judge them.

I don't think it's ethical for Volkswagen to do this, because there are alternatives to this type of experiment, and it doesn't have to be done on animals. However, Volkswagen's simple and crude testing method for some purpose may not be problematic from a commercial or legal point of view, but it is reprehensible from a moral point of view.

Within the Respiratory Institute, each test was conducted in a closed room, in which 10 baby monkeys waited pitifully and helplessly, while going through 4 hours. The diesel exhaust of the Volkswagen Beetle filled the entire room, and it was uncomfortable to think about! And not just this test, in the second test that followed, these monkeys were forced to inhale the exhaust fumes of the Ford F-250!

Just to compare the degree of damage to health caused by Volkswagen's exhaust fumes! Because this Ford is an older model, it does not add complex and sophisticated filtration technology. That's not all, after that, you have to be anesthetic, your lungs intubated, and your blood drawn to check for blood mixtures.

It can be seen that the car that Volkswagen uses to test exhaust gas is not a ** car, so this move makes me feel puzzling, and it is worth using some life to test some vehicles that are obviously toxic to exhaust emissions.

There is no doubt that vehicle emissions are highly toxic, and if it is unknown whether the emissions of a new vehicle system are toxic, then testing them on animals may barely make sense. Inhaling a group of monkeys with an obviously toxic exhaust fume, is this a test car or a test monkey? Are the public ready to switch careers to the biological field?

Summary: Therefore, it is absolutely unethical for a well-known company like Volkswagen to make such a move.
