The numbers tell one story.
Debbie Gibson and Terry “Geezer” Butler, an unlikely pair, came together to support the adoption of 1,500 beagles. The beagles were rescued from Ridglan Farms, a research facility that agreed to give up its state breeding license after being accused of animal mistreatment. The dogs are being transferred to shelters around the country, with over 1,300 people expressing interest in adopting them. The event marks a historic day for the end of experimenting on animals, according to Butler.
