Police turn away protesters hoping to prevent beagles' euthanasia in Indiana

MOUNT VERNON, Ind. — When a gaggle of 50 or so protesters, some with dogs and all dressed in blue T-shirts, huddled and began chanting, Patty Tapp and her dog had to step out of the throng.

"She can't take loud noises," Tapp said, gesturing down to Bee, who was standing behind Tapp with her back turned to the group. "It gives her PTSD."

Bee, a 7-year-old beagle, grew up in the same type of conditions as the dogs the group was there to protest on behalf of.


The protest, called the "Wear Blue for Beagles Walk" and assembled by members of the Posey, Vanderburgh and Indiana humane societies, aimed to raise public awareness for beagle puppies being used in animal testing at Inotiv Inc. in Mount Vernon.

Protesters tried to speak to representatives from Inotiv, but police stopped them at the company's gate.

1. I've signed a couple of petitions to that company about the beagles. I think the

HSUS has been working to stop the killing.

2. It is ridiculous that these companies assume the pups are unadoptable

If people want to give them a chance, they should have one!
