Try Not To Cry While Watching Rescued Beagles Touch Grass For First Time
1010 WINS-In 2017, animal testing is still a real way for companies to test the safety and usability of products, chemicals and the like before being released to the general public.

Then we have little Whiskey Rose, a true treasure. Released from the lab at…

VegNews speaks to Beagle Freedom Project founder Shannon Keith to find out what we can do to weather the blow. On February 3, 2017, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), removed all records of animals used in laboratories—including information related to instances of abuse—from its website. This action has devastating implications for animals and greatly impedes the ability of advocates…
