A woman spent 24 hours in a dog cage that 'smelled like urine' while listening to barking sounds to raise awareness of animal testing. Anne-Marie Barton, who lived streamed the entire experience on Facebook, said she designed the cramped enclosure to look like those found in laboratories.
The 44-year-old completely cleared out her office - located in an outbuilding with no windows - before setting up a crate with hay on the floor. She also sprayed the space with vinegar to replicate the smell of urine before locking herself inside, Manchester Evening News reports.
During her time in the cage, Anne-Marie listened to the constant sound of dogs barking through headphones and only slept for around 20 minutes. Her partner Luke Cottrell, 34, an emotional needs tutor, stayed nearby throughout the experiment and brought her just one meal in the entire 24 hours.
