Successful shut down of beagle farm


"“We applaud the Communities Secretary for rejecting plans for a beagle breeding facility in Yorkshire to supply laboratories. Using dogs in tests is an issue that raises strong public concern, and this has been reflected in the huge response we have had for our campaign. This is a victory for public opinion, and of course the beagles,” said BUAV Chief Executive Michelle Thew.

The organization advocates for alternatives to animal testing, which they state is cruel and unnecessary. Thew said, “Not only is there a strong ethical case to end these outdated experiments, but a range of non-animal research techniques are now available that provide a humane approach to science which can be used instead of breeding dogs to suffer and die in experiments.” "

HOORAY!
