Humane Society video shows dogs tested on in Michigan

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Humane Society of the United States released video Tuesday of dogs at a Michigan facility being force-fed chemicals in experiments for chemical companies.

36 beagles were being tested for Dow AgroSciences, Paredox Therapeutics, and Above and Beyond NB LLC, at the Charles River Laboratories in Mattawan, Michigan.  The company is headquartered in Massachusetts  and has facilities around the world.

The Humane Society investigation took place between April and August of 2018. The group says they shared their findings with Dow and has been negotiating with the company to have the 36 dogs released to them. Dogs that survive until the end date of the experiment in July are to be killed.

Dow AgroSciences released a statement Tuesday saying they try to keep their animal testing at a minimum, but it is required for some regulatory authorities.

The Humane Society says that the dogs are provided to the lab by commercial breeders like Marshall BioResources of New York.

    I get the testing, as messed up as it is; but why kill the animals at the end? Some inevitable health defects they will end up with? That seems cruel. And why dogs…..

      Without animal testing pesticides, drugs, make-up, wouldn’t be available. These dogs are breed specifically for testing. They aren’t captured or taken from the humane society. The animals organs need to be studied at the end of the study to look for toxic effects. Dogs, Pigs, Primates, Mice, etc are all used in research.

        Yeah test on mice not beagles, they chose beagles because their docile.
        So if babies are born specifically to be tested on and killed that makes it alright?You would agree to that?
        You sound like a typical know it all know nothing….

    This is the most horrific thing I have ever seen in my life it must be stopped I don’t care if they don’t have drugs or make up it’s not that important to abuse beagles and I wish a terribly bad KARMA on everyone involved. It’s all about MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope someone slices your stomach open and pours chemicals into yours. These are innocent dogs!!! How can you all just participate in this and stand there and watch! In time you will find that God has a very nice place for all of you monsters and where you are all going there is no forgiveness!!!!! These poor innocent emotional dogs with feelings of pain and feeling of torture look at their eyes!!!!!!! Sticking their paws out for you to help them -You sick twisted monters. Life and God won’t let you get away with this especially for a pay check!!!!!! The fact these people can do this to these poor animals without any hesitation or feeling is sick and disgraceful!!!!!! This is yet just another definition of animal abuse that gets “covered up”’!!!

      suggestion. Free testing on those who choose for free meds. Personally i feel that would be humane and worth the cost. I also oppose testing on unborn human fetuses or using them for stem cell research. Someone has to speak for those who cannot

  • yvonne elliott

    so required to do this evil? why dont the chemical manufacturers or legalizers test it on their own food and also quit polluting our environment

  • Nicole Kapucinski

    You are sick people!! How can you sleep at night?! I can not erase these images out of my mind. Please STOP this!! You are hurting and destroying man’s best friend. You are the PROBLEM!! Animals love humans how can you do this to them!! Eventually Karma will find it’s way back!! God bless all of the sweet animals and rainbow heavan awaits them for a free and cruel life!! 🐾
