vivisection
The act or practice of cutting into or otherwise injuring living animals, especially for the purpose of scientific research... hey, the above guy didn't give a good def so I cut 'n' pasted from Dictionary.com...
There's a chicken on the table.. tied down by leather straps. The smiling scientist comes over with a large knife while the chicken tries to get away. Then, the smiling scientist jabs the knife into the chicken's side, trailing down its organs, allowing the lungs and liver to fall unto the table. The chicken, miraculously, is still alive but in a world of hurt. The smiling scientist then grabs a small hammer and smashes the fowl-play's beak. This sends the poor poultry into shock, then dies in pain as the smiling scientist gently snaps its ribs out of its bloody chest.. one by one...
