Summary
⚠️ Some listeners/viewers may find parts of this episode distressing.
In this Oh My Dog mini-documentary, Sara visits Camp Beagle, the protest camp outside MBR Acres, a facility that has been breeding beagle puppies for animal testing for over 50 years.
Over the course of the visit, we meet camp resident Sole, hear the dogs inside the facility, and learn what happens to puppies bred for laboratory experiments - and why campaigners believe animal testing is both unethical and outdated.
This is a first-person report of what Sara saw, heard, and felt while at Camp Beagle.
