Major beagle lab supplier to close

A major US breeder of beagles used in laboratory research is preparing to shut down, with hundreds of remaining dogs expected to be transferred to rescue organizations and adopted into homes. Ridglan Farms, a Wisconsin facility that has supplied dogs to research laboratories for nearly 60 years, is winding down operations after an agreement was reached to transfer its remaining 475 beagles. The first group of dogs is expected to be moved this month, with the rest leaving by early August, according to Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy.

Wayne Pacelle, president of the Center for a Humane Economy, called the closure a significant development in efforts to reduce the use of dogs in laboratory testing. Pacelle argued that advances in technology are reducing the need for animal testing.

00:00The second largest beagle breeding facility that supplies the laboratories
00:05using dogs in toxicology experiments, drug testing, other painful invasive experiments
00:11is going to close up shop perhaps later this summer.
00:16The animal use as a centerpiece of so much of the scientific work is broken. We need to use
00:2521st century science that's based on human biology that's human relevant. We have AI,
00:31we have organs on a chip, we have organoids. Why are we using a 1930 strategy which is poisoning animals?
00:42Before today there were 1635 dogs and that were taken from the facility, 475 remain and there's a
00:51plan now to get all those animals out of the facility and into loving homes. The kicker in
00:57all this is is that the company is going to cease operations. That will leave just one major beagle
01:03breeding supply company left in the United States. It's called Marshall Bioresources in upstate New
01:09York. So our campaign will immediately pivot to Marshall Bioresources to get that company to cease
01:17its role in trafficking of dogs into laboratories.
01:53and again we are in the country. To the people who are currently living.
01:55We are in the country. The people who say Piers are living with dogs in the United States.
01:58This is based on the people who live in the United States.
01:58Here are some people who are living at the facility that's living in a facility like this.
