In Opinion:
The beagles remaining at the Envigo breeding facility in Virginia should be made available for adoption, PETA's Daphna Nachminovitch writes.

I’m glad that the government has stepped in following my push for accountability for the horrible conditions at the Envigo breeding facility. While it appears that Envigo plans to close its Cumberland facility, we must keep working to ensure the remaining dogs go to loving homes.
Envigo is still under a temporary restraining order until 6/13, at which time there will be a federal court hearing. The 446 beagles who were found to be in "acute distress" and were seized HAVE been relinquished, but roughly 2,660 dogs remain imprisoned at this horrid place

More than 300 dead beagles, nursing mothers deprived of food for 42 hours, and puppies found stuck in waste pans below their cages—despite these and more welfare problems documented at Virginia and Indiana research facilities, the USDA hasn’t acted.

The lack of punitive action, given the gravity and number of the violations, has shocked and mystified animal welfare advocates and local politicians alike https://t.co/WnqTra6Zov
@JenniferBoysko@peta@BillStanley We could not love this more! A very well-deserved honor indeed. Thank you for your hard work for the beagles this session ❤️
Joined by some four legged friends, I signed a historic package of bills that dogs and cats bred and sold for experimental purposes are protected by Virginia’s cruelty-to-animals law.
Former research beagles who've found homes through the Richmond SPCA are gathered at the executive mansion this morning for VA Gov @GlennYoungkin to sign five pieces of legislation to protect beagles. @BillStanley
My gratitude to @MarkWarner and @TimKaine for their support of efforts by my Animal Welfare Caucus to force @WeAreEnvigo to comply with @USDA and Virginia standards of animal welfare and to stop the ongoing cruelty at the Cumberland facility. https://t.co/155M7ygMlh
THANK YOU! We have taken action in Virginia to hold @WeAreEnvigo accountable, but federal action would be a welcomed advancement. @timkaine @MarkWarner Demand Immediate Action in Light of “Continued, Horrific Mistreatment” of Dogs https://t.co/VTTja6Xouh
