When Description Source
Vocalist Ogre became involved in anti-vivisection activism after being exposed to documentation from animal-rights organizations, and the band incorporated explicit anti-animal-testing material into "VIVIsectVI" and its live shows. Source
2014 Skinny Puppy learned from former Guantánamo guard Terry Holdbrooks that their music had reportedly been played at extreme volume during interrogations. According to the account given to the band, their music was repeatedly played for hours and used alongside other abusive interrogation practices. The band reacted with outrage and sent the U.S. government a deliberately symbolic $666,000 invoice for unauthorized use of their music. Key said that if they actually received money, they would likely donate it to PTSD survivors. Source
