In a landmark decision, the Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency have imposed a hefty $35 million penalty on a company for serious violations of animal welfare and environmental laws. This fine marks the largest in history under the Animal Welfare Act, highlighting a significant step towards stricter compliance and respect for animal rights and environmental safety.
Animal Breeding: A Harrowing Discovery at Virginia Dog Breeding Facility
The fine stems from a distressing situation uncovered in 2022 at a Virginia-based dog breeding facility operated by Envigo Global Services. The facility, which bred dogs primarily for research purposes, was found severely lacking in meeting the humane standards required by law. Over 4,000 beagles were living in deplorable conditions, prompting a forced surrender by the Department of Justice.

Breeding animals, pets should be forbidden. There are many animals in animal-help-stations. Good people should help these animals
