Did you know Beagles are some of the most commonly tested upon animals, solely because of their forgiving & unaggressive nature?  Labs across America are currently full of these gentle souls, serving as test subjects for cosmetics, household products, cigarettes, etc. Above is the story of a few dogs who, in a beautiful twist of karmic fate, were freed from their prison and released to compassionate animal rescuers.  Watch as they timidly take their first steps ever on grass.  See how after years of abuse they still only radiate love.  Please don’t buy products tested on animals. Most survivors are not this lucky…

Also remember that many other animals are tortured and killed in experiments, rats and mice being the most common. They matter, too.
