Beagles Are Barking With Joy Today!
This is a great day for animals, the government and common sense. We’re thrilled that following months of campaigning by PETA and other groups, including our appeals to East Riding Council and the Secretary of State, an organised protest outside the Planning Inspectorate in Bristol and almost 10,000 objections from PETA supporters, the government has recognised what the public already knew – that breeding dogs for deadly experiments is a shameful trade. Dogs aren’t commodities, and they aren’t test tubes with tails. These dogs have been spared the worst of all possible lives: bred for profit on a factory farm and then sent to laboratories to be poisoned with pesticides and drugs or cut up in experiments. No animal deserves this kind of fate, and the sooner the whole B&K Universal operation shuts down, the better.
What we now need from the government is positive action to cut the numbers of dogs and all other animals used in experiments. At this moment, the Home Office is considering weakening even further the legal protection for animals in laboratories in response to a new EU directive. We need to see the same kind of enlightened common sense on this issue as we’ve seen today from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Please take action to stop this from happening.
In this century with our advanced scientific knowledge, there should be no reason to have to inflict inhumane treatment onto emotional and spiritual creatures like dogs, cats or other. Stop this insane cruelty now!
This is an important step for beagals and hopefully soon there will be an end to animal testing. There is no place for this cruelty in the world anymore.
This is amazing news! No animal should be used in experiments, there is always a non- animal method of testing a product. The misery that these beagles suffer is dreadful all they know their entire life is the pain of being experimented on, no one should breed animals for experimentation it should be made illegal and anyway breedism should be a thing of the past, we should be finding homes for all the dogs and other animals that are in shelters through out the UK. I make sure that I always buy BUAV registered products, I will never buy anything tested on an animal.
I love this news. Brian May the guitarist of Queen ardently oppossed this cruel and shameful endeavor to torture beagles. He’s abhors all cruelty against all animals. They can test on stem cells and skin cells.
Absolutly great news, marched through hull, and the hull people were gobsmacked to think this was happening on their doorstep, this has made my day, wonderful for the beagles.
what great news! i love my beagle
This has cheered me up such good news, I am very happy for the beagles.
No animal deserves to suffer. I would also like to see these fur farms closed down, I feel sick after seeing the videos, I cannot believe that in this day and age such horrible thing’s go on, after seeing how these animals are treated I have started giving money to peta. And I thank you PETA for all your good work.
For God’s sake, stop this NOW.
No animal deserves to suffer. Please, stop now!

Well done PETA! All vivisection and animal testing must be stopped!
Well done to all the groups that took part in this joint effort! Bring on the next victory.
i love this news.. keep up the good work peta.. i love all animals, mostly dogs tho
This is great news, we live in the 21st century and like Helen Dixon has mentioned we have advanced scientific knowledge so why on earth do they test on dogs and other animals? It is DISGUSTING!
Anyway, great news for the beagles!
[...] It’s always fantastic to be involved in an intense campaign that achieves quick results for animals. Two weeks ago, we stopped an Air France shipment of monkeys destined for an animal laboratory, and the week before, we persuaded the government to refuse permission for a new beagle-breeding farm.

stop please!
