Beagles Rescued from Lab Pipeline Find Sunshine, Grass, and Forever Homes | Nanette Holt
4d ago00:25:14Tap to summarizeNearly 2,200 beagles grew up in stacked metal cages at a Wisconsin breeding facility, destined for research labs. They had never felt grass under their paws or sunshine on their backs.This is the story of how those dogs were freed — after protests, political pressure, and the determined work of Big Dog Ranch Rescue — and how they are now discovering toys, couches, and the simple joy of being loved.We explore why beagles are the preferred breed for laboratory testing, how recent changes in U.S. law and advances in alternative methods are reducing the need for animal testing, and why the fight is still far from over.At its heart, this episode asks a deeper question: Are dogs still necessary in the creation of medicine for humans?Join host Benjamin Trenerry and Nanette Holt, an award-winning freelance reporter covering issues of national interest for The Epoch Times, as they explore this moving tale.Show your support for The Epoch Times and independent journalism by leaving a 5 star review of this show on your podcast platform or visit www.RateThisPodcast.com/epochreports
