The beagles were confined to cages, wounded from surgery and force-fed dangerous substances, often resulting in death.
Most Americans would be shocked to learn that this is just one example of the widespread, unnecessary testing and subsequent killing of animals that government regulators, including our own Food and Drug Administration, often direct companies to do.
