Scope of this White Paper

The scope of this study is restricted to experimentation on beagle dogs in India. It arises out of the authors interest in dogs, and that no publicly available data – or even estimates – are available on the number of dogs experimented upon. This paper does not cover animal experimentation as a legal, or a moral, argument (which are the subjects or a larger study by The Voice of Stray Dogs) but restricts itself to distribution of experiments over experimentation types conducted by companies over a period of time. The study therefore provides an insight into organizations that conduct these experiments.

Did You Know?

India is home to an estimated 62 million stray dogs, many of whom lack access to basic medical care.
For injured street dogs, the first 24 hours after an accident often determine survival, yet most never receive treatment in time.
A no-kill sanctuary means dogs who cannot be released due to injury, age, or trauma receive lifelong care and protection.
Severe cases such as spinal injuries, acid attacks, and multiple fractures require months or even years of rehabilitation.
At VOSD, hundreds of dogs are permanent residents because returning them to the streets would be unsafe or fatal.
