Puppies wearing gassing masks on MBR farms for animal experimentation: damning images
One Voice reports on the shocking information and videos gathered by our friends of TheCampBeagle.com about the fate of puppies destined for animal experimentation at Marshall BioResources (MBR) in North Rose, New York. Unfortunately, MBR also operates in France, where it owns the Gannat (Allier) and Mézilles (Yonne) sites… One Voice is sounding the alarm and denouncing these unbearable living conditions!
Suffering begins long before testing
Barely born, the young beagles bred by MBR already know nothing but fear, isolation and violence. Renowned for their gentle nature and loyalty, they are raised in conditions that are hard to imagine, even before they are confronted with the laboratories. Their lives, in MBR’s eyes, have no value unless they conform perfectly to the industry’s expectations. The slightest physical “imperfection” becomes a death sentence. For example, according to one whistleblower’s testimony, a puppy with different-colored eyes was killed at birth, as this made him “useless” for the customers’ requirements.
Condemned to inhale fumes and toxic substances by MBR
For these puppies, the ordeals are just beginning. Their intended function is to be used in laboratories as living test tubes. For them, suffering is not limited to the tests themselves. From their very first weeks, they are subjected to treatments that kill them little by little, inexorably. Unveiled videos show puppies forced to wear masks that force them to inhale gasses, until fatigue prevents them from struggling. These harrowing images were taken, in 2024, inside MBR’s “beagle factory” in North Rose, New York, USA. This is how this company conditions these puppies to wear all kinds of harnesses for future toxic inhalation.
In the 1970s, the investigation showing beagles forced to smoke provoked worldwide indignation. More recently, we mobilized on the occasion of what we called Diesel Gate for the macaques gassed by Volkswagen. Yet these atrocities continue today in the United States, in the shadows and the cover-up.
A daily life of fear and blood
Although three-quarters of French people remain opposed to animal experimentation, MBR dogs suffer the consequences every day. On a daily basis, the dogs are crammed into cramped cages. Forced to live in small spaces where peaceful interaction is impossible, constant proximity to other males leads to struggles for dominance. Blood frequently soils the cages, silent testimony to acts of brutality and neglect. Remains are also regularly found there, in a state of abandonment. These young dogs, deprived of any social ties or games, no longer have the desire or even the ability to interact.
Ferrets also concerned…..
Ferrets, also present on site, are confined in unsanitary cages and live in conditions that defy all decency, reminiscent of those of minks bred for fur. Cowering and huddled together, these small animals seek refuge but find none. The lack of hygiene is alarming: dirt covers the floor and mold invades the troughs. Young minks are often found lifeless, trapped in the throughs, victims of systematic neglect.
The omerta everywhere
According to our information, the American “bioresources” giant has set up a veritable cover-up system to conceal the extent of these atrocities. Cell phones are forbidden on the premises, on pain of immediate dismissal. This draconian measure is designed to prevent any damning evidence from tarnishing the company’s reputation, and to maintain the omerta surrounding its practices.
A long-term battle in France too!
These beagles are not only used locally: they are sent all over the world to numerous laboratories. In France, One Voice’s fight against MBR goes back a long way. Back in the late 1990s, under the name Talis, our association succeeded in blocking the construction of a facility in Montbeugny. We also fought against Harlan in Gannat, who owned the site at the time. More recently, we prevented the expansion of French MBR sites in the Yonne and Allier regions. Today, this investigation reveals what Marshall BioResources is capable of.
If, like three out of four French people, you are against animal experimentation, demand an end to the use of dogs in laboratories and the closure of the Mézilles dog farm.
