It’s not all Black and White.
Emotions are running high and the word “rescue” has come to mean different things to different people and organizations.
As we stand on the cusp of placing five former research beagles into loving homes, we are reminded that this is our mission and our privilege.
We have been asked in recent weeks what we are going to do about the thousands of dogs in research facilities across the U.S. and Canada. It is a complex question.
We do what we can, as many of you know, one beagle at a time. This is our mission and it is a powerful act of collaboration.
But it must also be said that if the system allows it, then the system must be where change happens.
It is at the systemic level that we must advocate, make appeals, and work towards legislation that creates long-term change for animals in research.
As animal lovers with powerful voices, let’s not lean further into division, but instead, let’s seek common ground - and focus on what is right and best in the long term for the greatest number of animals in research.
This is our hope—alongside the hope that one day, all dogs will go from LAB to LOVE. ~ Lori
