My company was discovered using monkeys for emissions tests. They were gassing monkeys, and legitimately used "everyone in the industry does it" as an internal defense to quell upset staff.
Fuck Volkswagen. Straight up. No fucks given, worst job I ever worked.
Wait, wtf... Volkswagen killed monkeys in emission tests?

It seems to be public knowledge. I hadn't heard of this either. Yet another in a long line of companies doing shitty things and I'm sure a lot of money spent to make sure this didn't become household knowledge.
Huehuehehe..., its ok, I'll show myself out...
It did in the Netherlands. And then people stopped caring as the next hot article got out.
What me horrifying to me isn’t that VW used ‘everyone does it’ as a defense, it’s that multiple carmakers are gassing monkeys for emission tests.
