It's always great to find an artist who you know will be perfect for this show and our guest this week, Ben Wells of Black Stone Cherry, is just that. Not only is Ben a dog dad to three wonderful beagles - Henry (13), Hank (8) and Sunny Pearl (2) - but he also just released a children's book titled Good Girl Sunny Pearl which he wrote, illustrated and published. To top it all off Ben and his wife Jessica created the Henry & Clark Foundation that supports children and animals in need. Black Stone Cherry will be on a 11 date US tour that starts on March 13 in Bloomington, IL. For more info and tickets visit blackstonecherry.com. Ben's book Good Girl Sunny Pearl is available on Amazon and Barnes & Nobel. Ben gave a shout out to three great organizations. The first is The Barren River Animal Welfare Association who provide a safe haven for homeless companion animals and provide animals in need with humane treatment and good homes while working to reduce the population of unwanted pets through spay/neuter programs, education, and outreach. To adopt, foster, volunteer or donate visit brawashelter.org His second shout out goes to the Miranda Lambert led Mutt Nation whose mission is to promote the adoption of shelter pets, advance spay & neuter; and educate the public about the benefits of these actions. To see the wide range of efforts they spearhead visit muttnation.com Lastly, Ben gave some well-earned praise to the Beagle Freedom Project who are the world's leading organization for rescuing and rehoming animals used in experimental research. Since 2010, BFP have liberated thousands of animals while working to end their abuse through education, advocacy, and legislation. To contribute to their goal of a world without animal testing visit bfp.org And we at Rocker Dog would like to shout out Ben's Henry and Clark Foundation whose mission is to raise awareness and support for children and animals in need.

“We enacted what's called the Beagle Freedom Project Bill. Basically, what it said was, if you're a facility that tests on dogs and cats, when the testing is over, you are mandated to release those animals to give them a second chance at life to a 501C3 charity like Beagle Freedom Project or any other type of facility like that, like a rescue facility. You wouldn't believe how hard that was to pass.” – Shannon Keith   The story sounds like a dream: hundreds of animals used for research and testing are now free and the former prison that they were forced to call home has been torn down to become a safe and loving animal sanctuary.  This conversation was done as a live interview a few weeks ago. It's with me and Shannon Keith, the president and founder of the Beagle Freedom Project. I invited her on to discuss the shutdown of a massive dog and cat testing laboratory in Nowata, Oklahoma. Not only did the Beagle Freedom Project and Shannon shut down this laboratory, but they rescued all of the dogs and cats that were being tested on there, and they took over the laboratory and it's grounds and are in the process of transforming it into a 30-acre sanctuary called Freedom Fields.   The closure of this laboratory ends one-third of the toxic flea and tick testing industry in the United States, sparing the lives of thousands of dogs and cats. Beagle Freedom Project is the world's leading organization for rescuing and rehoming animals used in experimental research. Since 2010, they have liberated thousands of animals while working to end their abuse through education, advocacy, and legislation. We talk about the shutdown, the rescue of hundreds of animals that were being tested on, and the magic of transforming a dark and terrifying animal research lab into a beautiful sanctuary. And, we discuss not only how to help these former research animals, but also the more than one hundred million still being used for testing and research in the United States.      

But who doesn't love a beagle? Shout out to Snoop. Every time we think of beagles, we picture them "pre-washing" the dishes when the dishwasher's open. It's an important job, better than Cascade! Today, We're thrilled to have a fan crush moment with Shannon Keith, founder of the Beagle Freedom Project. Shannon, an attorney, award-winning filmmaker, and animal advocate, established the Beagle Freedom Project in 2010. Since then, they've rescued over 3,500 animals from labs where they were used for testing everything from floor cleaners to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. These animals, often slated for euthanasia, now find loving homes thanks to Shannon's efforts. Even more impressive is the legislative impact; the Beagle Freedom Bill, which mandates the release of lab animals for adoption, is now enacted in 13 states. Shannon shares the incredible journey of these rescued animals, the challenges of advocacy, and the profound human-animal bond. Join us as Shannon discusses how beagles adjust to new homes, the significance of their docile nature in labs, and her groundbreaking efforts to shut down a private testing facility in Oklahoma. This episode is a testament to the difference one person can make and the enduring power of compassion. Welcome, Shannon! Let's dive into your incredible work and hear some heartwarming rescue stories. Do beagles truly adapt to loving homes after such a traumatic start? Listen in to find out how these resilient animals find their way to a new life of love and care. https://bfp.org/ Support our sponsor for this episode Blue Buffalo by visiting bluebuffalo.com.

This week we're joined by Phil Green, animal advocate, dog lover and proud pet parent to Scarlett the Beagle. Rescued by The Beagle Freedom Project in 2016 from a toxicology laboratory in Hungary, she had been bred by Marshall Bio Resources at the huge HQ in New York for the purpose of vivisection. Scarlett is one of the very few lucky ones enabled freedom, aged only two years.  Both Phil and Janie Green had their names down for a rescued Beagle, understanding the long socialisation journey ahead. Scarlett adapted very well to her rural life in Essex, and enjoys the sights, sounds and smells of woodlands, and outdoors that she was deprived of. Scarlett has helped raise awareness of the atrocities that these Beagles endure in their very short terribly sad lives. In the hands of ‘white coats' that justify their salaries from private ‘Big Pharma' firms making everything from cleaning products to headache pills. The practice of vivisection is morally and financially bankrupt in an age when we have advanced technology that can do testing more economically, accurately, and without causing huge suffering to animals - in this Beagle. Scarlett has become the face of many campaigns , not least The Camp Beagle, to raise awareness and urge the public to support her in getting vivisection - the dark secret - raised in Parliament, get legislation amended in line with the Animal Welfare Act.Sign the Petition hereScarlet on TwitterScarlet on InstagramCamp Beagle on InstagramBeagle Freedom Project on InstagramFor more about Anna go to annawebb.co.ukMusic and production by Mike Hanson for Pod People ProductionsCover art by JaijoCover photo by Rhian Ap Gruffydd at Gruff PawtraitsTo advertise on or sponsor A Dog's Life email: info@theloniouspunkproductions.com

Bundles of beagles were freed from a private contract research testing laboratory thanks to the relentless work of Beagle Freedom Project. Many of these beagles had never touched grass, experienced the outdoors or played with a toy. Some are over 8 years of age. Instead, they were tattooed with a number. Beagle Freedom Project President Shannon Keith tells us the story of how she and her team whisked these beagles to freedom and transitioned them to loving foster homes, where they will get a name and kindness, for the first time in their lives. Please visit https://bfp.org/ to get involved.

Trigger warning: This episode contains mentions of animals being used for pharmaceutical testing purposes, talk of animals being abused and animals dealing with issues of PTSD and the fallout that comes from surviving life in testing facilities. We all know animal testing happens. But did you know that it doesn't just happen on rats and mice? It happens on all sorts of animals, including dogs and cats. And when it comes to dogs, the breed of choice for testing, especially when it comes to toxicity testing for the pharmaceutical industry, is the beagle. In this episode, Bill talks to Shannon Keith. She's the founder and president of the international non-profit Beagle Freedom Project. Throughout her career advocating for animals, she has been a voice for all animals on the streets, behind closed doors, in the courtroom and in state capitols.

Every day across America, thousands of innocent animals are used as test subjects in brutal experiments, paid for by taxpayers dollars and approved by your Government. Beagles are tortured frequently, the loving and trusting creatures that they are.

Attorney Dan Kolde sued the University of Missouri on behalf of the Beagle Freedom Project for violating the state's open records law. After he won at trial, the university has agreed to spend $175,000 to close out the case. Kolde discusses the lawsuit with host Sarah Fenske.

In the United States we still use millions of animals in laboratory experiments. It’s a secretive industry and I think, many people are under the impression that it ended years ago. Not only is it still huge, but we test on just about every type of animal one can imagine, including dogs. 70,000 dogs a year are used in laboratory experiments and a great majority of them are beagles. The heartbreaking reason that beagles are so often the dog of choice is because they’re docile, sweet, trusting, and they don’t fight back. Like all laboratory animals, their lives are miserable from the time they are born until they’re euthanized. They are taken from their mothers and are subjected to horrific cruelty, painful tests, torture, and then finally, when the experiment is over, they are killed. Shannon Keith is a superhuman. She’s the founder of Beagle Freedom Project, an organization that rescues and advocates for beagles as well as for many other animals who are tested on in laboratory experiments. She’s is also an animal rights lawyer, activist, and documentary director/producer. She has changed laws, rescued thousands of animals, brought enormous amounts of attention and awareness to issues that have been kept secret for decades, and in her spare time, she’s made three documentaries that have exposed the hidden worlds of lab testing, the fur industry, and the lives of captive primates. I’m certain that future generations will look back on what we’re currently doing to animals with shock and horror, but they’ll also be able to see that there were indeed heroes amongst us: those who gave all to battle against the incredible injustices and atrocities that so many animals face every single day. Shannon is one of the heroes. Thousands of animals are alive, safe, and free because she refuses to give up the fight.

Shannon is excited to welcome her guest this week: Shannon Keith, President and Founder of the Beagle Freedom Project (BFP). Keith's organization fights for animal rights on many levels, from fighting for legislation requiring humane treatment of laboratory animals to physically rescuing beagles used in laboratory testing and helping them assimilate into life outside of the lab - and ultimately finding them loving homes. Beagles are the most popular breed for lab use because of their friendly, docile, trusting, forgiving, people-pleasing personalities. Most beagles used in experiments have never seen grass, the sun, or anything outside the walls of a laboratory. They have received little or no affection & are often afraid of people. Beagle Freedom Project is doing some amazing work in bringing joy & love to these animals. Our Lives with Shannon Fisher explores personal, political, and societal perspectives of the American experience. The show delves deeply into the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, and community leaders and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.
