Sanctuary founders become first recipients of beagles rescued from research company

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

John Ramer and Katy Collins, founders of the Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Wyoming, became the first recipients of beagles rescued from Envigo RMS, a company involved in breeding animals for research. This rescue occurred after the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Envigo for violating the Animal Welfare Act, leading to the removal of over 4,000 beagles. The sanctuary has been instrumental in coordinating the release of these mistreated animals, with Uno, the first beagle they received, now serving as an ambassador for former research dogs, even visiting the U.S. Capitol to advocate for animal testing discussions.
