A major milestone in the effort to wind down animal testing!
This week, another 135 beagles will leave Ridglan Farms, the Wisconsin facility that bred dogs for laboratory research and testing. More than 1,500 dogs have already been transferred through a partnership led by the Center for a Humane Economy and rescue organizations.
As these dogs begin their journey to foster homes and families, lawmakers are advancing legislation to end taxpayer-funded dog testing and expand the use of modern alternatives.
The rescue of the Ridglan beagles is helping drive a broader transformation in science and public policy.
