Footage captured inside the LibertyResearch, Inc., laboratories in central New York has the makings of a horror movie.

PETA's eyewitness found workers drilling into the skulls of young beagles so that distemper virus could be injected directly into their brains. Some dogs were seen blinking and even whimpering during the procedure. Afterward, they banged their heads on the cages, causing blood to spurt from their wounds. They also foamed at the mouth and had seizures.

At the end of the study, they were simply killed.

We must stop such horrific cruelty—cruelty that is still taking place and will continue as long as Liberty's doors are open.

PETA's Animals Out (of the Labs) Challenge and help stop dogs, cats, and other animals from being tortured in laboratories.

Inside Liberty's windowless industrial buildings, dogs were injected with insecticides … cats were locked away in a severely crowded room and forced to compete for food … and animals were heartlessly killed.

Many of these experiments are being conducted for pharmaceutical giants like Bayer, Novartis, and Merck. Liberty also breeds and sells thousands more dogs and cats to be cut up, poked, and prodded in experiments by companies, government agencies, and university scientists.

One cat named Jade (just "JAD4" to Liberty's experimenters) suffered from seizures for nearly a month. When the decision was finally made to euthanize him, a veterinarian advised a worker to check to see if there was a need for the dead cat's "body parts."

This has to end.

PETA's campaigns to stop cruel and deadly experiments on dogs, cats, and other animals.

Don't underestimate the difference that PETA members can make. When we documented that dogs were suffering in insecticide and other chemical tests inside Professional Laboratory and Research Services in North Carolina, PETA members took action—leading to that laboratory's closure and 14 felony cruelty-to-animals charges! And because our members wouldn't stand by while the U.S. Coast Guard cut off the legs of goats to train medics, animals are no longer being shot, stabbed, and dismembered by that branch of the armed forces.

Now you have the chance to save even more dogs, cats, and other animals from experimentation through the Animals Out (of the Labs) Challenge.

Help stop animal testing.

Dogs and cats at Liberty are being horrifically abused and deprived of everything that makes life worth living—we must do all that we can to help them.

Dogs Are Being Crippled—Help Us Stop This Cruelty!

"I wouldn't like to be in the beagle's place. The suffering is real."

It's easy to see why a laboratory employee at France's Alfort National Veterinary School would say that. Footage captured at the institution—obtained by PETA France from the group Animal Testing—provides a glimpse into a facility where beagles, golden retrievers, and other dogs, who are deliberately bred to develop crippling and painful muscular deterioration and weakness, are used in deeply disturbing experiments.

The dogs struggle to walk, swallow, and sometimes even breathe as their bodies are ravaged by a canine form of muscular dystrophy (MD). Some will be completely crippled before they reach 6 months of age, and half will endure an agonizingly slow death before they are 10 months old.

Your gift during "Cut It Out"—PETA's Animal Test Challenge will give an immediate boost to our work to stop the horrors facing dogs and other animals.

MD is a terrible disease, but there are better ways to help those who suffer from it. After more than three decades of painful experiments on dogs, there is still no cure or treatment to reverse its devastating course in humans. In fact, dogs continue to be killed, even though some treatments deemed effective for them have proved to worsen the condition for humans in clinical trials.

In disturbing footage captured inside an Alfort laboratory, one poor dog is seen sitting dolefully in a corner with massive quantities of drool hanging from his mouth as his cagemate stumbles toward the eyewitness for affection. Some of the animals are unable to keep food down and are fed through a stomach tube. Those who survive the first stage of experiments will develop heart problems as the disease attacks and weakens their cardiac muscles.

This cruelty isn't limited to France. We must increase our work to stop the horrific suffering of animals in experiments in Asia. Can we count on your help?

Your generous gift today will give a vital boost to PETA's work to stop the misery of these and other animals.

With your help, we will inform the public about cruel experiments and keep the pressure on the government to mandate non-animal testing methods.

The greatest challenge that PETA faces today is a lack of funds to follow up on every opportunity that we find to help animals. That's why I hope you'll take a quick moment to give online right now and help us carry out our important plans to advocate for dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, monkeys, and other animals caused to suffer in laboratories.
