  1. How can this even happen in our country? In this world? I can’t fathom the emptiness inside anyone who profited from using these animals as if they were disposable. The drug companies behind this should be fined, taxed, and prevented from future operations. Disgusting. Makes me wonder how many other such facilities exist

  2. The medical industry is currently running experiments on people, against their will.

    Why exactly are we wasting resources on dogs, if we don't even care about people getting experiments done on them?

  3. So happy to hear this. My grandparents lived down the road from this place and we could hear loud barking from these poor babies. We never knew they were doing this just thought it was breeders. Hopefully they will be shut down for good.

  4. I propose the beagle be made our national dog with the same protections as the bald eagle .65,000 killed a year no different than child molesters to me and they that do evil to beagles should be treated like them

  5. This is really great news, but I'm disappointed that this facility won't be paying any penalties. I realize they are shutting down, but I don't feel that's enough.

  6. How can my wife and I adopt one ? He will be loved so much by us. We currently don’t have any pets other the fish 🥰
    And we have a acre on our property. We are in our 50s

  7. Hmm… I think if there is a market for dogs or cats as test animals the puppy and kitty mills will simply move offshore.
    To another country where animals are not as valued as in a First World country. And I have heard vile stories about the local medical school involving animal use. Does it really happen? Don't ask, don't tell I guess…

  8. the company needs to be charge with cruelty to animals, they are not above the law, and the money will go taking care of the 4,ooo beagles the abused victims. It's really sad to see this was happening in the US.

  9. You know, the judge allowed the sale of 500 of them to research facilities to "fulfill existing orders".
    What about all of the breeding facilities owned by Inovit that owns Envigo?
    What about Amish run puppy mills? They're one of the largest puppy mill breeders. Why are we still allowing these practices????!!!!!!

  10. You fools are always wining about climate change… how about shutting down domestic animal services and eradicating the 200 million stray dogs and cats that are sucking in oxygen and blowing out carbon dioxide, methane, parasites, diseases the list is endless… Reeeeeee 🔥🐷🔥
