If you’re a regular reader here, you’re probably familiar with animal testing and its many problems. We’ve talked about the realities of animal testing<\/a> and how to find products that don’t test on animals<\/a>. Animal testing is sort of a pet issue for me, because not only is it cruel, it’s almost pointless<\/a>.<\/p>\n My friend Ashlee Piper wrote an in-depth piece for Refinery 29 on animal testing recently, and it was so eye-opening that I wanted to share it here. Ashlee’s piece covers more than just what sorts of animals suffer in labs, and you should absolutely head over to Refinery 29<\/a> to read her thoughtful piece.<\/p>\n What I wanted to share in this space was one revelation from her article about which animals bear the brunt of this practice.<\/p>\n Do you think rats or mice when you think animal testing? That’s a common misconception, according to Ashlee. Beagles actually undergomore animal testing worldwide than any other animal. <\/strong> Check out this video from The Beagle Freedom Project<\/a>. These beagles are being freed from a lab and seeing the outdoors for the first time in their lives. It’s heartbreaking and full of hope. Don’t worry, I’ve got some tissues for you right here.<\/p>\n
