VARC’s beagle dogs are kept in unpleasant and unsanitary conditions. They live in cages either with concrete floors or wire mesh over dirt floors. When the beagles are being used for a drug trial, an experimenter regularly comes in and removes them from their social group, and takes them to a frightening environment where they are dosed or injected with a drug. Dogs have excellent memories, and will soon get know and fear the routine of being removed from their cages and experimented on – a routine which may continue for weeks or years. At the end of the experiment they may be killed and dissected, or sold to whoever happens to bid for them on Trade Me.
I hate animal testing and I think it needs to stop now, I did my school speech on animal testing last year and 300,000 animals from New Zealand animal testing are killed per year! and frankly, i think its discusting! Also.. 99% of animal testing are for cosmetics
I mean animals, dogs, are still living! and they can still get hurt and feel things!
And also the results for drugs on an animal is different for whats going to happen to a human.
ITS GOT TO STOP

They are killing Beagles? That’s my favorite type of dog! Beagles Rule! How dare they kill those innocent dogs! It has to stop before beagles become extinct or something! They might get threatened if they keep doing this! It has to stop! I love beagles!

We have had Odie for almost 3 years now, and it was only recently that a friend brought it to our attention that where we purchased her was from a Beagle testing lab at Bainesse.
I was shocked, and overwhelmed with emotions and horror.
I cannot imagine what type of a “human being” could inflict abuse on such a gorgeous pet, Odie is apart of our family – and we would never dream of abusing her.
SHAME ON THOSE WHO THINK THAT THIS TYPE OF TREATMENT ON ANIMALS IS ACCEPTABLE.
