Beagle Freedom Project

A while ago I came across this amazing organisation, The Beagle Freedom Project. Many people don't realise that animal testing is still a huge issue across the world and especially in America (70 000 dogs alone were used for animal testing in America in 2012). Beagles are very popular for animal testing as they are very forgiving and passive natured.

There are some alarming statistics on the BFP website such as 106 000 people die from drugs tested as 'safe' on animals every year and less than 2% of human illnesses are seen on animals. Therefore testing drugs and cosmetics on animals is largely unnecessary. The Beagle Freedom Project rescues beagles (and other animals) from laboratories once they are no longer 'usable', they then rehabilitate them and adopt them to dog lovers to start their new life as a dog.

Please visit their website: http://www.beaglefreedomproject.org/ to find out more, where you can volunteer, adopt rescued beagles and donate money towards this amazing cause.

Until next time, 

Keep loving the green life
