In 2023, 3,770 regulated experiments were carried out on dogs in Britain. Of these, 3,565 involved beagle testing and all were approved by the UK government.
Dogs are inquisitive, intelligent, and deeply social animals. While they may spend much of the day resting, they thrive in rich, stimulating environments, full of companionship and play. This is something anyone who shares their life with a dog knows instinctively.
Beagles are no exception. In fact, they’re known for being affectionate, curious and energetic, needing at least 1.5 hours of exercise each day. These very qualities, which make them wonderful companions, are also what make laboratory and breeding kennel environments profoundly unsuitable for them.
Yet, behind closed doors, this is the reality for thousands of beagles in the UK who are bred and used for science.
