Former experimental lab beagles who lived in cages their whole lives see sunlight for the first time after being given to adoption organization
Beagle Freedom Project - Second Rescue - June 8, 2011 - YouTubeARME’s Beagle Freedom Project spokesman Gary Smith told the station that the beagles, all between ages 4 and 7, had lived in cages their entire lives.
Unfortunately, beagles’ notoriously obedient dispositions makes them ideal for experimentation. According to the Beagle Freedom Project’s website, they are the breed of choice for lab testing of pharmaceutical, household, and cosmetic products due to their ability to adapt to life in a cage and the fact that they are relatively inexpensive to feed.
When the beagles are no longer needed for research, some labs contact organizations such as ARME, who then work to find good homes for the dogs.

Yep, that made me choke up a little bit. How they are so loving after living their entire lives in cages is amazing.

Loved the video. The whole situation is sad. I am glad that these dogs will know relative freedom, love, care and comfort.
