Rescued Laboratory Beagles See The World For The First Time

There are about 75,000 Beagles used in labratories for their kind, forgiving nature. They live in cages their entire life subjected to test. Many never even get a glimpse of the outside world. The Beagle Freedom Project recently rescued nine Beagles from a laboratory in Nevada. These little ones had never known a kind touch, been loved or felt safe and now, they have loving, forever homes, a place to run and play. (rightthisminute)

YT: On May 6, 2014, Beagle Freedom Project rescued nine beagles from a laboratory in Nevada. Until this day, these beagles had never known a kind touch, been loved or felt safe. Their lives are about to change forever.

Despite the horror story that people told in the description that reminisces of 1950's experimentation, all of these dogs are very well socialized, and understand how to play with other dogs and humans very well. They don't seem like they were subjected to the conditions described.

Ya, Healthy dogs are more useful than psycho, deranged ones. I'm sure the companies had dog handlers that probably interacted with them daily.

Still, even if there was an attempt at "humane" treatment. The whole situation is complete Bullshit. I'm all for experimenting on pedophiles. That's ok. I don't care if they're sick. Have this "punishment" in line for them if they commit, and no consequences if they seek help before.

Basically yes. This was done in voluntary partnership with the lab, who will remain anonymous, just because they were done with that batch of dogs. It's not like they hatched a daring escape plan, complete with puppy sized tunnels to freedom.

It's a bit of a dilemma to me. Of course it's good to find them homes once all the science is done. But, by making a video that seems like such a happy ending it makes the practice seem not so bad. As if these dogs just had to work in a lab for a couple of years, then retire in some sort of luxury puppy villa.

"recently rescued"

Is that a euphemism?

Thanks for the explanation.

Clearly, these dogs did NOT spend their entire lives isolated in cages, or their muscles would have been atrophied to the point where they could barely move, let alone run around and socialize as they did when released into the yard for the first time. I'm not an apologist for animal experimentation, but let's be accurate, folks - these dogs all look to be in excellent physical and emotional condition.
