TL;DR

The parent company of a Virginia facility that bred beagles for drug experiments has been fined over $35 million, the largest ever in an Animal Welfare Act case. About 4,000 beagles were rescued in 2022, and the company pleaded guilty to multiple violations, including inhumane euthanasia practices and inadequate veterinary care. The Humane Society helped facilitate the adoption of the rescued dogs.
