They struggle trying to free themselves from the harness they are forced to wear, but every effort is in vain. A mask is fixed on their heads. They can’t escape you, they can’t escape because they are tied with leashes.
Hundreds of beagle breed dogs are trained this way to be able to be used as guinea pigs in toxicology laboratories, and not just naturally. They will inhale gas, they will come into contact with dangerous substances to test on their skin.
To denounce the endless horrors of animal testing is The Camp Beaglea protest movement for the closure of factories that breed dogs destined to end up on the tables of research institutes around the world. Only dead people will emerge from here, after having suffered unspeakable pain.

The activist organization has released terrifying new images from the facility in North Rose, New York, owned by Marshall BioResources. The giant also has beagle and golden retriever dog breeders in Europe, more precisely in France.
In the laboratories of the North Rose building, i beagles know nothing but fear and suffering. They don’t know what it means to be a puppy, what it feels like to receive a caress or touch the grass with their paws.
They are confined in aseptic environments, where there are no kennels, comforts or stimuli other than the barking of other dogs. Animals are raised to be subjected to every possible type of experiment.
The selection begins immediately and the specimens considered unsuitable are eliminated as they would only constitute a further expense. Those who “survive” will face much worse. The video shared by The Camp Beagle it just gives us an idea of what those dogs have to endure.
As activists recall, a video of beagles forced to smoke in the 1970s caused global outrage, anger and dissent, giving rise to international demonstrations and protests. Since then, many believe that those barbaric practices have been abandoned. But that’s not the case.
Animal testing silently continues to claim millions of victims every day, every month, every year. we cannot feel their pain, but we can oppose these cruel methods by asking for adopt alternative approaches.
The principles of the 3Rs provide for this: sreplace, reduce and perfect a non-animal model in academic and scientific fields. The battle is still very long, but in order for us to truly talk about progress, other paths must be taken.
