Tell Your Legislators: Protect Animals in Our State

Rescue dogs Teddy and Ellie beat the odds – finding themselves among the far less than 1% of animals who survive the animal research industry – and, indeed, Ellie’s rescue from Envigo was only made possible by existing laws. These laws included Virginia’s 2022 “Beagle Bills”, which provide some protections for dogs and cats bred and sold for animal research within the state. Among other items, these bills prohibit animal research breeders from selling dogs and cats if they’ve been recently cited by the USDA and require animal research breeders and facilities to make certain dogs and cats available for adoption placement (which is what saved Ellie!).

Teddy’s and Ellie’s guardians want to see similar laws passed in other states and hope that Teddy’s and Ellie’s stories will inspire you to take action now to protect other victims.
