Muffin's Story

Thank-you for the sweet responses. I will make sure Muffin's family receives them. 🥰 I had to repost due to error.

Dear Beagle Family, Please SHARE my story.❤️

My name is Muffin. I don't understand why they did this to me. I did nothing wrong. I was born inside Marshall BioResources (MBR). They have 23,000 beagles waiting to be sold to testing labs. Many of these beagles are killed after being tortured. After a year of living inside MBR, I was sold to a testing lab in Pennsylvania. They conducted torture tests on me for three years. Luckily they never killed me. I was released through a rescue with 24 other beagles. I was completely broken. I don’t think anyone had ever seen me as bad as I was. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t look at anyone. Whenever someone came near, I would freeze, terrified. Sometimes, I would even fall over—my body so stiff with fear that I thought I might never move again. Five months of being afraid of what might happen next. Now a year has passed, and I do love my new family. I really do. I try to enjoy my life with them, and I’m getting better, but... when they pick me up, something terrible still happens. I can’t help it. I freeze. My body goes stiff, and slowly, I tilt my head back and open my mouth. I know what’s coming, and it terrifies me every time.I remember the tube, the feeling of it going down my throat. They called it oral gavage. I endured it over and over. It may have been years. My brain goes numb to block out memories. My mom sees me shaking She knows I'm having a flashback. I don't understand why they did this to me?
