The Humane Society of Virginia is trying to find homes for 4.000 beagles, exactly two weeks after NIAID Director Anthony Fauci told congress he would no longer use beagles for allergy testing.
These two stories seem connected.
July 5, 2022 – Under fire from foes of federal animal testing, the agency headed by COVID-19 czar Anthony Fauci has canceled a plan to start new tests of allergy medicine on beagles, some as young as 6 months.
In a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and promoted by the White Coat Waste Project, Fauci said that instead of dogs, the new hay fever drug will be tested on rodents.
“Although the contract to Inimmune Corporation proposed the use of murine and canine preclinical animal models, after consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company elected to proceed using two rodent models only,” wrote Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “No experiments utilizing the canine model are being conducted under this contract.”
[…] The letter was a big victory for Ernst and the animal rights group, which had started a popular hashtag campaign against the testing: #BeagleGate. (read more)
Yesterday, this next story surfaced:
July 15, 2022 – CUMBERLAND, Va. — The Humane Society of the United States says it is working fast to transfer thousands of dogs bred for medical research from a facility in Virginia.
On Wednesday, the Humane Society said that over the course of 60 days, they’d be transporting around 4,000 beagles in stages to shelters nationwide so they could be adopted. (read more)
4,000 beagles?
Good grief, is that the scale of Anthony Fauci’s beagle abuse?
Suspicious Beagle is, well, suspicious….
We’re Tony’s beagles…
He kinda looks like a beagle, hates his kind.
The punishment is….Fauci and his cronies need to be strapped down on tables and allowed to be eaten by all of their own experiments! This man along with WHO and AMA and FDA all need to go along with the DC deep state employees. Let the punishment begin! enough!
Fauci is deserving of the most slow, painful death known to man for his crimes.
The 4000 beagles are from a Cumberland, VA corporate breeding mill operated by ‘Envigo”, a subsidiary of “Inotiv”. This facility has been under pressure for months due to many violation of basic care standards. It sells beagles to universities and other research programs. “Inotiv” agreed to close down the operation in an orderly way, releasing the dogs to the HS of the US in batches so the HSUS can arrange to distribute them to rescues for adoption.
Whether Fauci’s decision has any relationhip to this is unknown. He might have seen the writing on the wall, or Fauci topping the allergy research with beagles might have convinced the company to pawn off liability for the dogs onto do-gooders. It’s a win for the beagles either way.
Those interested might want to research who/what Inotiv (or Envigo) was selling the beagles to and for what type of research.
