Why We Should Celebrate the End of Medical Experiments on Beagles

This has been a good month for beagles, and a bad one for the bureaucrats in white coats who abuse them.

The Department of Justice has taken unprecedented action to shut down the Cumberland, Va., branch of Envigo. Federal investigators had documented extensive abuse and neglect at the company, which is one of the nation’s largest breeders of beagle puppies for painful and wasteful experiments. Many beagles perished before inspectors realized just how bad this puppy mill was. But 4,000 survived, and these sweet hounds are being put up for adoption across the United States.
