"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

Before the launch, one of the mission scientists took Laika home to play with his children. In a book chronicling the story of Soviet space medicine "Laika was quiet and charming ... I wanted to do something nice for her: She had so little time left to live." ~ Vladimir Yazdovsky

"Hmmm, we're not sure how to create something that can safely re-enter the atmosphere once it makes it into space. As an experiment, let's see what happens if we send a dog. OH it turns out it dies in agony."

Well no shit comrade. WTF.
