Loading...Research Beagles See Sun For The First Time (Video)
Every once in a while, an animal research story gets a happy ending.
Beagles are often used in laboratories as research subjects because of their friendly, trusting personalities. The Beagle Freedom Project‘s mission is to get these beagles out of labs and into loving homes. In June 2011, they rescued 9 beagles and took them outside for the first time in their lives:

+ add your ownThis is very sad, but after watching this video, I have a question. There's only 9 beagles in carriers, and they all have food & water in them. If you watch the video of the ASPCA's rescue of the 700 cats at Caboodle Ranch, you'll see 700 cats in carriers stacked up high, and no food and water in their carriers. Why? It stands to reason that 700 cats will be in their carriers much much longer than the 9 beagles will. Why are the cats not treated with the same amount of care that the beagles are given?
Thank you so much for what must have involved so much hard work. Your vido made me cry with joy for these dogs new lfe and cry with sadness for the plight of all the other animals still in research labs. We must all do what we can to stop animal testing completely. Your video and work is inspirational.
This makes me cry everytime I see it(tears of joy)
That wasTHE MOST touching video Ive seen. I cried through the whole thing. Im praying for the rest of the dogs to find great homes.
Thanks
Totally agree with Miss M in previous post.
That is really sad how the beagles were used in experiments in the first place.
thanks for sharing :)
This is one of the most heartwarming videos I have ever seen. God Bless all who help these dear dogs and help them find loving, forever homes. The Beagle Freedom Project is awe inspiring.
I'll try to "expand" on that a bit, Kimberly. Years back, I was driving home from work (worked nights) and it was dark, raining very hard and windy. A black LAB ran out in the road in front of me and I hit the brakes, but too late and I hit him. I got out and went back to see if the dog was okay. He wasn't. He was badly injured. Nobody stopped to help, and I almost got hit myself trying to get the poor animal off the road. I managed to get him in my car and got him home. I did what I could to help and called 911 and was re-directed to Animal Control. By the time anyone got to my house, the dog had died. The guy went out to the garage, picked the dog up by the nape of his neck and threw him into the back of his truck! I was upset and told him he should show a bit more respect, even for a dead animal! He just rolled his eyes and left.
