3 months agoMixed thoughts on the outcome of this lawsuit. “Envigo’s parent company, Inotiv, has agreed to pay the record eight-figure settlement. It has also agreed to not breed dogs for the next five years.” Like, how about a permanent ban? Five years, are you kidding me? Better than nothing, but cummon.
I’m glad that a portion of the money fined will go towards the activists actually rehabilitating/rehoming these beagles. “The agreement calls for the company to pay $22m to the US government, as well as pay approximately $1.1m to the Virginia Animal Fighting Task Force and approximately $1.9m to the Humane Society of the United States for their help rescuing the beagles.”
Sounds like the medical examiners were lazy, just relying on police reports to shirk their responsibility to investigate the cause of death. Either that or just assholes with a boner for the cops. Unless they are getting kickbacks.
