Did you know Beagles are the one type of dog used more often than any other for painful, harsh, and inhumane animal testing procedures?
According to animal welfare group Occupy For Animals, it’s because of the breed’s middle ground size and their sweet, passive, and trusting nature.
So although dogs are known as Man’s Best Friend, humans still take advantage of their confidence in us and subject these poor, helpless creatures to a lifetime of suffering.
In the following video from BFP on YouTube, we learn of one of the most successful rescues of all time. BFP coordinated a release of 38 different Beagles used by companies for testing across 12 states in the U.S.
From Oregon, all the way around the country to the Northeast, the 38 prisoners were taken away from their lives behind bars and given the second chance they never knew was even possible.
When you see how much their lives have changed, it’s guaranteed to touch your heart. As stated in the moving BFP video, “The labs gave them numbers, their new families gave them names.”
