In what's thought to be one of the biggest dog rescue efforts in the U.S., nearly 4,000 beagles are looking for forever homes after being saved from a Virginia facility that bred them to be sold to laboratories for drug experiments.

Animal rescue organization volunteers started moving the first batch of dogs late last month, the Humane Society of the United States reported. As of Tuesday, just over half of them had been removed, the non-profit reported on its website.

  1. Cool. Now we can give them to fauci for more sand fly testing. For the people who do not know, fauci loves beagles. He loves strapping them down, isolating their head, and covering the head with sand flys. For science haha.

  2. They need stop testing on all animals. It’s inhumane, evil and disgusting. Only a psychopath would take part in the torture.
