Beagles

[JMM]

I wonder if these are ol Doc Fauci's beagles?

Opinion: 4,000 beagles just got a gift from the Justice Department

4,000 beagles were put up for adoption this month when federal officials shut down the breeding facility in Virginia where the animals had been kept, citing dozens of violations.

Fauci's beagles were in Tunisia but our government has been using beagles for testing and experiments since the 1960's.

I can't help getting emotional when I think of the YOUTUBE video I saw a few years ago of beagles in restraints forced to inhale cigarette smoke through specially designed masks in order to learn what effect the smoke had on their lungs.
And another one of beagles that had spent all their lives in a lab being released, and for the first time in their lives seeing grass. When they opened the door to the cage this beagle slowly extended his paw onto the lawn being so reluctant and afraid to come out of the cage and touch this strange green stuff. Really heartbreaking to watch.

I’m not totally opposed to animal experiments but I’m opposed unnecessary and unnecessarily repetitive experiments. We already know what cigarette smoke does.

Those were not recent. Those were from what I recall as very old footages back when the effects of cigarette smoking were being studied.

I'm no PETA guy but I have more pity on animals than I do on people like George Floyd.
