Dogsey

This company wish to house 300 Beagle breeding bitches, each of which they estimate will produce an average of 5 puppies per annum. These poor dogs have such a miserable lives, housed in metal pens with no mental stimulation or access to the outdoor world. I know I'm a Beagle owner and as such, sentimental about them, BUT surely it is time that this lovely and amiable breed was freed from its link with the cruelty of experimentation, much of which is duplicated, and unnecessary. Whatever the research carried out, it is a life with only one result for the dogs.

I think it's about time invasive experiments on dogs were banned in this country _unless_ the experimenting research institute can put a strong case forward showing the outcome of the experiments will benefit dogs. (I.e. no more testing on dogs for human conditions.)

I had only just had the article sent through to me - I had no idea what it involved and the thought of 300 Beagle breeding bitches in such circumstances is absolutely heart-breaking.

This is disgusting US owned company that breeds Beagles in the US, France, Italy & China. they used to breed at Grimston, which is a few miles from me, but had their breeding program ended 4 years ago when they were taken over by the American company.

Lots of protests there over the years & it was thought that the Tory council would agree to the planning permission, but they were "persuaded" to reject it

2012 report

Smuggled videos are available to view on Google. They are heartbreaking, beagles being poisoned with drugs, fertilizers etc. before being killed and their organs examined. The kindest part is the pts. Japan, in particular, asks for repeated testing before they will import specific products from the UK. I don't know how to post links, but I'm sure there will be another 'Run Free' petition soon, please sign it if you care.

PS Joedee - This is Grimston again, see Yorkshire Post yesterday.
