What’s you thoughts on what happen to Laika

I think that Laika was yet another victim of horrific animal experimentation, whose needless death was no more or less remarkable than any of the others. She died a horrible and slow death of overheating while under extreme stress, something the scientists who sent her to die knew was likely to happen.

After the Soviet Union had lied about it for years in their propaganda, in 2002, Russian scientist Dimitri Malashenkov revealed that Laika had survived only about five to seven hours after liftoff before dying of overheating and panic. It was belatedly made known that Laika’s pulse rate tripled during takeoff and only came down somewhat during weightlessness.

This wasn’t a test of how the body responds to overheating in space that would at least yield useful data to prevent future deaths. Laika didn’t ensure the survival of future dogs, who had to endure the same stress. This happened because The Soviet scientists had insufficient time to perfect life-support systems, due to political pressure to launch in time for the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution. That is what she died for.

This was not a noble sacrifice worthy of celebration, it was an unimaginably stressed out dog cruelly sent to her death because her captors believed that animals are expendable, and that it is perfectly acceptable for them to suffer in order to serve frivolous human interests. This is unfortunately a sentiment that many people still agree with. I constantly see her death being glorified on Tumblr, as well as the repetition of literal state propaganda; all because it makes for a nicer story than the truth.
