Free Chami

Chami is a beagle trapped in a Texas A&M research lab. For months, she’s been held in isolation, showing visible signs of trauma: spinning in tight circles, defecating in fear, and withdrawing from human contact. Multiple staff documented her distress and pushed for change—only to be ignored. One caregiver who tried to advocate for Chami was fired.

Now, Texas A&M is preparing to subject her to more invasive testing that will end in her death. There is no justification for continuing to hold her.

Beagle Freedom Project has offered to take Chami into immediate care, provide medical and behavioral support, and place her in a permanent, loving home. Texas A&M has ignored that offer.

Chami deserves freedom—not more pain.

What You’re Seeing Is Trauma

This footage shows Chami spinning compulsively in her cage — a clear sign of deep psychological distress caused by prolonged isolation and neglect. This isn’t science. It’s suffering.

Texas A&M has been aware of her condition for months and still refuses to act.

According to her attending veterinarian at Texas A&M, Jonathan Bova, “As long as she doesn’t get a concussion from spinning all day, that’s ok. We are not going to stop the spinning.”

Beagle Freedom Project is on site and ready to take Chami into care immediately. Every hour she remains inside that lab is more harm.

Use the form to send a direct message to Texas A&M’s Marketing & Communications team and demand a public statement, an end to Chami’s experiments, and her immediate release to Beagle Freedom Project. Hold Texas A&M accountable before the situation escalates further.

Email the attending veterinarians and demand they uphold their professional oath—stop the experiment and approve Chami’s immediate transfer to Beagle Freedom Project for care. Your voice can push them to act today.

Don’t wait. Chami can’t speak for herself—but we can.
