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.

—Oleg Gazenko, one of the scientists who worked on Sputnik 2

I disagree, Mr. Gazenko. The Soviet Union learned the incredibly valuable lesson that if you lock a dog in a hot box, it dies. Truly valuable science.
