"Testure" is a single by the band Skinny Puppy, taken from their 1988 album VIVIsectVI. The phrase is most likely a play on words (a literary device used frequently by vocalist Ogre) of the words 'Test' and 'Torture' and equates medical experimentation on live animals as being akin to torture. A music video was made for the single which featured a man who presumably abused his pet dog and, upon discovering its corpse, is taken away by some strangers who place him in a medical/torture test while interspersed are shots of actual animal testing footage.
