Helping Animals Used in Research Go from Lab to Love!
Second Chances
The Beagle Alliance gives freedom and love to former research animals and animals who would otherwise be euthanized, and advocates for animal free science. Testing on beagles and other animals happens in Canada. There is no federal legislation and facilities using animals are not bound by law to release them after study.
THESE SURVIVORS DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE AND CAN LIVE MORE YEARS OUTSIDE THE CAGE THAN INSIDE!

Advocacy
Animal Free Science
The Beagle Alliance advocates for non-animal use in science.
Suffering would end for animals, more effective treatments for disease would be available for humans, and if governments chose to grant funding based on the changeover to this model, private and public facilities would benefit monetarily and with greater staff retention. Then, the animal care workers could heal from the trauma of constant exposure to animal trauma.
