Forty beagles that were being used for lab testing in Spain found out what grass and outdoors were like for the first time.
All the male beagles, which are between 4 and 7 years old, have lived in cages their entire lives, according to Gary Smith of the Beagle Freedom Project.
The Beagle Freedom Project has a longer version:
Beagles are often used in lab testing of products, including cosmetics, because of their ‘docile and trusting’ personalities.
Mr Smith added: ‘Beagles are incredibly sweet, docile, companion animals.
‘The downfall is, the same reason the beagle is a perfect companion animal, is the same reason they’re used for testing.’For more information on the rescue operations or adopting one of the beagles, go to ARME’s website.
