I can't watch the video; it would hurt my heart too much. Somewhere,in some thread, I know I've recounted the tale of how I saved my brother's cat after it had been caught in a cage by a nasty neighbour who, I found out later, had a habit of doing so, then selling trapped cats to pharmaceutical laboratories.

When I lived in Connecticut, as a salesperson I was supposed to call on someone at Pfizer pharmaceuticals one day. When I arrived there was a fine dust in the air, smelled awful, and I couldn't get it out of my mind that I knew they had beagles in one of those huge buildings and they were being used for testing. I turned the car around and went home and never went back.

I hope they find good homes for all of the beagles mentioned.

gnu, if you CLICK HERE there is more information on adoption, including applications to e-mail and, what I read was a cost of $300. Of course I don't know if that means just in the United States or elsewhere. There is an e-mail address there for someone that you could write to.
