Hello.
Recently, I posted a video from the Beagle Freedom Project rescuing beagles from a research laboratory. These beagles have known nothing except the confines of metal cages. They have known no soft human touch, no warm bed, no companionship, and no love. They have never been outside or sniffed a tree or grass. Finally, after years of being poked and prodded, these beagles were FREE!
On 08 June 2011, Animal Rescue Media Education (ARME) received a call from a research facility willing to release nine beagles used in several tests to Beagle Freedom Project. This video shows the rescue.
Since I am a pet-parent to a beagle, Quinn, these videos have had a profound effect on me.
The only way we can eliminate this type of testing being completed on beagles (and other animals) is to purchase products which are not tested on animals. Cosmetics. Cleaning products. Personal care products. Please ensure they are not tested on animals. We have a choice; the beagles do not.
Until next time, have fun and be well.

I find these hard to watch and yet inspiring. I wonder if there are other groups out there doing great work like this, and I am sure there is the need…
