The NIH has officially closed its final laboratory that conducted controversial beagle experiments, following intense scrutiny from animal welfare advocates. Accusations included the infliction of pain and suffering on the dogs, with claims that over 2,000 beagles endured lethal tests involving pneumonia pathogens and were often killed after experiments. This closure marks a shift toward prioritizing human-based research rather than animal testing within the NIH. The move has garnered support from animal rights groups, with officials lauding it as a significant victory for animal welfare.
'Then they're allowed to suffer for up to 96 hours, and the ones who don't die during that period are killed at the end of the project,' Justin Goodman, WCW senior vice president of advocacy and public policy, told DailyMail.com
