4000 beagles rescued from lab for testing
what a great photo & action 😎
“About 4,000 beagles are looking for homes after animal rescue organizations started removing them from a Virginia facility that bred them to be sold to laboratories for d*** experiments.
"It's going to take 60 days to get all of these animals out, and working with our shelter and rescue partners across the country, working with them to get these dogs into eventually into ever-loving home," said Kitty Block, president and chief executive of the US Humane Society.
Shelters from South Elgin, Illinois to Pittsburgh have begun receiving the dogs, which will get medical exams, vaccinations and other treatments before becoming available for adoption.
In May, the US Department of Justice sued Envigo RMS LLC alleging Animal Welfare Act violations at the facility in Cumberland, Virginia. In June, parent company Inotiv Inc. said it would close the facility. In July, Envigo settled with the government, without paying any fines.
Inotiv did not respond to a request for comment.
Government inspectors found beagles there were being killed instead of receiving care for easily treated conditions; nursing mother beagles were denied food; the food they received contained maggots, mold and feces; and over an eight-week period, 25 beagle puppies died from cold exposure, the Humane Society said in a statement. Some were injured when attacked by other dogs in overcrowded conditions, it added.
The beagle rescue effort began much earlier, according to Bill Stanley, a Republican state senator for Virginia. "I tried to shut them down in 2019, but was not successful. But over the years, we never stopped fighting."

Goddamn just kinda skimmed that last paragraph 🥺 Nah I can’t know the details. How can one treat mans best friend in such a way. It says like 25 puppies died in the cold? Take me off this earth
4000 in ONE facility can't believe people are actually breeding animals and then sells them to testing labs

I probably would free them like on some ocean 11 s***. it makes me want to free animals , but i think me & beagles would all end up dead from me trying to corral them in the truck. 😳
i just picture picking up 5 at a time running out the back doorand they are just running around on the bed of the u haul truck barking and crawling all over each other. how many vehicles carrying 4000? that’s a difficult math equation.
I swear any time I hear something crazy going on with dogs it's always in Virginia or West Virginia
Wish they would send me one
let me know ur interested they mite work something out for u
We’re liberating dairy cows next
And then the mice
And then the cockroaches
And then the bacteria
Good
Glad a lot of it is being outlawed too
Makeup & d*** is notorious for this s*** even in illegal ways in todays age
in these tragic times positivity prevails
naw actually the fact that there were 4000 beagles in a d*** testing lab being killed for easily treatable condition is horrible though
