Dog Research Exposed

Dog Research Exposed

Ellie Hansen

Over 55,000 dogs are used in biomedical and chemical experiments in the United States each year. Join host Ellie Hansen, author of Laboratory Dogs Rescued, as she continues her eye-opening interviews about how we can work together to end the cruel and unnecessary use of dogs in research. Dogs–sentient beings like you and I–suffer greatly in research laboratories, and few (if any) of the experiments they are used for actually benefit human health. Truthful, inspiring, and educational...real dialogue with the people who are on the forefront of changing the animal testing paradigm.

The beagles—Julie, Anna, and Lucy—are now safe in loving homes. However, the three activists who saved their lives now face felony burglary and felony theft charges. This compelling, roundtable discussion--including two of the rescuers--reveals why the “right to rescue” should be defended, especially when the welfare of animals is at stake.

Dog Research Exposed - Negative Social Impact of Animal Abuse in Research Labs
play

01/04/24 • 36 min

How can someone work in a research laboratory where their job entails experimenting on dogs? While the abuse of dogs is criminalized outside the walls of the laboratory, inside the laboratory it’s accepted and lawful. Why is there such a disconnect in how we define animal abuse? Furthermore, if people’s jobs include harming and killing dogs and other animals, what effect could this have on their personal lives—and our society in general? Research shows a definitive connection between violence against animals and violence against people, as well as other negative psychological impacts. Dr. Amy Fitzgerald, Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at the University of Windsor, expertly uncovers what consequences the animal testing industry has on human and animal wellbeing.

Dog Research Exposed - Cracking the Code of Envigo Beagle Tattoos
play

10/08/23 • 43 min

When the massive research dog breeding facility Envigo in Virginia was shut down in 2022 due to numerous animal welfare violations, over 4,000 beagles were set free and adopted out in what has become the largest dog rescue in U.S. history. Sadly, these beagles were not given names in Envigo—they were given ear tattoos as puppies to identify them—much like a barcode on a piece of inventory.

During the rescue process, the over 4,000 beagles were split up among 160 different animal shelters across the nation, leaving many adopters to wonder: did my beagle’s brothers and sisters also make it out alive? And if so, where are they now? Michael Taylor, founder of Finding Connections: Envigo Beagles, reveals how he has managed to connect Envigo beagle families by cracking the code of the dogs’ ear tattoos given by Envigo. Up until now, the ear tattoos were secret codes, but that has all changed, and the availability of this information is proving to be profound.
