Puppy Love.<\/p>\n
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have welcomed a new canine member to the family \u2014 a beagle rescued from a testing laboratory.<\/p>\n
The dog \u2014 named Momma Mia \u2014 was one of 4,000 beagles seized by authorities last month after the testing lab was shuttered due to numerous animal-welfare violations. The Envigo plant, which sold puppies for use in pharmaceutical and biotech research, was found to have kept the dogs in deplorable conditions.<\/p>\n
Many of the dogs were found malnourished and kept in cages where feces and food waste piled up. More than 300 puppies died at the facility between January and July of last year.<\/p>\n
Shannon Keith \u2014 an animal rights attorney who runs the Beagle Freedom Project and who has taken in many of the rescued beagles \u2014 told the LA Times that she received a call from an unlisted number and had no idea who was on the other end.<\/p>\n
