In June, Delaware Governor John Carney signed The Research Animal Retirement Act, commonly known as the Beagle Freedom Bill, making Delaware the eighth state to pass such a law.
The new law requires research laboratories to relinquish dogs and cats to rescue organizations upon completion of their research rather than euthanize them, as has been standard practice in the past.
“This policy addresses a real deficiency of law, and we are so proud to be able to secure homes for animals that have endured so much suffering,” said Shannon Keith, president of Rescue + Freedom Project, an animal rescue and advocacy group based in Los Angeles.
