Scientists Say They Must Have Beagles for Toxicology
A National Academy of Sciences committee urges beagles as indispensable in Air Force research on the effects of poisonous chemicals on humans. While other species help, beagles provide essential data for predicting safe human exposure, with purebred beagles reducing animal numbers and improving study quality. The Air Force used 172 beagles last year and plans 200 this year, with procedures designed to minimize pain and end in humane euthanasia after experiments. The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base program in Ohio is praised for its operation.
