you can save 82 beagles ANIMAL TESTING IS MOSTLY USELESS! FDA NEEDS TO DO ITS JOB & END ANIMAL TORTURE!

 

Time is running out.

We’re pushing Inotiv and Crinetics to release the 80 puppies they’ve been conducting cruel experiments on—as well as the two additional dogs used in “practice” procedures—before they are killed.

Will you sign our petition to Inotiv and Crinetics Pharmaceuticals to demand the release of those beagles who still have a chance at living happy, healthy lives?

Please don’t wait —they’re counting on you.

Subject: These dogs are scheduled to die

Undercover investigation reveals the horrors faced by dogs in testing labs. Please help us save them. Release 82 Dogs A recent undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States at an Indiana laboratory, Inotiv, revealed that 80 terrified puppies are being force-fed a potentially toxic substance every day and are scheduled to be killed beginning in just a few short weeks. Two additional dogs, who have been repeatedly used for years in “practice” procedures that include having tubes put down their throats, are also suffering. These dogs urgently need your help! Act now to put pressure on the lab and on the company behind these experiments, Crinetics Pharmceuticals, to release all 82 dogs immediately. The undercover investigator spent seven months at Inotiv documenting the suffering of these dogs, who were born in a cage and have never seen grass or sunlight. These dogs don’t even have names. They are simply known by the number tattooed inside their ears. The toxicity tests that these poor dogs are being used in are incredibly cruel. But they’re also of questionable scientific value. Animal testing is not a reliable indicator of toxicity in humans, which is why we’re pushing to end this inhumane practice and release the 82 dogs at Inotiv immediately. Join us in calling for the release of these 82 dogs—before it’s too late.

Behind closed doors at an Indiana laboratory, Inotiv, 80 terrified puppies are enduring daily force-feedings of a potentially toxic drug and are scheduled to be killed beginning in mid-May. Another two “stock” dogs have been repeatedly used in “practice” procedures; their counterparts were recently killed and they could be next. We need your help right now to get all 82 dogs out of the laboratory before it's too late.

Gut-wrenching footage of the agony these dogs are enduring was captured by our undercover investigator, who spent over six months at Inotiv documenting the unfathomable cruelty of life—and death—for dogs and other animals at the laboratory.

Inotiv is paid by companies to carry out animal experiments for them. Crinetics Pharmaceuticals is paying for 80 puppies to be intentionally poisoned daily with various doses of a drug in an attempt to determine if the doses are toxic in humans. By the end of these scheduled studies, some of the dogs will be force-fed the drug for a total of 39 weeks (nearly 10 months), the rest for 16 weeks (approximately four months).

But these tests are deeply flawed. According to multiple sources, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, around 90% of drugs fail in human trials. It is estimated that half of these failures are due to unexpected toxic effects in humans that were not detected in animal tests.

TAKE ACTION
Please use this form to email Inotiv and Crinetics Pharmaceuticals demanding that they stop these heartbreaking dog tests, release all 82 dogs to loving homes, and work with the FDA to find a way to conduct these tests without harming additional animals.
