AstraZeneca: Please set the Beagles free petition

Please sign this petition and help set the Beagles uses in research at AstraZeneca in Sweeden FREE!
 

AstraZeneca, a major international drug company, closed its research facility in Sweden. The beagles they used in their research are still being held and initially were slated to be killed – but AstraZeneca has reconsidered. This petition is to encourage the AstraZeneca to let these beagles be adopted.

Click here to sign the petition. Additional information about the petition can be found by visiting the Everyone Loves A Beagle Web site - click here.

Thank you for giving a voice to beagles that can not speak for themselves! Thank you for giving these beagles a second change - there are many loving and caring families waiting to adopt them! These beagles do not need to be killed.

AstraZeneca plc is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biologics company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It is the world’s fifth-largest pharmaceutical company measured by 2009 prescription drug sales (after Pfizer, Novartis, Sanofi, and GlaxoSmithKline) and has operations in… over 100 countries, including research facilities in Södertälje, Sweden.

Like every pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca conducts experiments on animals. According to AstraZeneca’s own website, in 2011 AstraZeneca has used approximately 398,000 animals, including those used by external contract research organisations on their behalf. Approximately 76% (302,480) wererodents, 22% (87,560) were fish and the remaining 2% (7,960) included chickens, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, primates, pigs, goats and sheep.

I'm happy to say that their exist an excellent organization that rescues beagles from a life in research - TheBeagle Freedom Project

TheBeagle Freedom Project is a mission to rescue beagles used in animal experimentation in research laboratories and give them a chance at life in a loving forever home.

What I Learned From My Beagle

I saw this on the Web site -- Everyone Loves A Beagle and wanted to share it. It's perfect!

Dog Lessons for People

Enjoy the simple pleasure of a walk

Run and play daily

Be loyal, faithful, and quick to forgive

Sometimes it's best to sit and listen

Follow your instincts

Keep digging until you find something you want

Avoid biting when a growl will do

Accept all of life's treats with gratitude

Love unconditionally

Dangers of Thin Ice

Dangers of Thin Ice for Your Beagle -- Please use extra care when walking around rivers, pounds, and lakes as they may prove to be deadly. It's easy to fall through thin ice and it can prove to be deadly. Be smart and stay clear of these areas till Spring!

Click here to read safety advice around thin ice from MN Department of Natural Resources. And here's a video from them, click here to view the video. Here's another video that shows dogs stepping on thin ice, click here to view this video.

Remember NO Ice is Never 100% Safe! My advice - simply avoid lakes, ponds, and rivers when ice is around. This way your dog won't be tempted to walk on the ice and possibly fall in. Once in the freezing-cold water, the chances of him/her being saved are slim!!!!!

This is a serious situation all dog owners should pay attention to . . . keep your dog safe! Always think dog safety around thin ice. It can happen to you and your dog. I cry every time I watch a news video story about a dog falling through thin ice!
