Animals Found in Abandoned Cosmetics Lab
(Port Jefferson, NY) — On July 4, Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue and Adoption Center worked with two animal rescue organizations — Best Friends Animal Society from Utah, and Pets Alive, based in Middletown, New York — in rescuing 120 beagles from an abandoned cosmetics laboratory in New Jersey.
The beagles were used for testing purposes. Laboratory employees tested inhalants on these young animals, which were between two and three years old.
“Today, these beagles are truly celebrating an Independence Day as they have been liberated from such horrendous conditions,” said Dori Scofield, President/Founder, Save-A-Pet. “I find it totally unconscionable that, in this day and age, laboratories are still using defenseless animals to test their products.”
The beagles have since been brought to Save-A-Pet, where they will be spayed or neutered and given medical treatment. Save-A-Pet is currently seeking donations to defray the cost of the medical expenses.
