PETA Calls Out Lufthansa for Transporting Beagles to Their Death

Warning: For anyone who has a pet, especially a dog, especially if that dog is a beagle, this is incredibly difficult story to read but an important one too.
It may take a really long time before Lufthansa Airlines wins any Pet-Friendly Airline awards, if ever.
According to this report from PETA, the airline had been transporting at least 50 beagles from a breeder in upstate New York to an animal-testing facility in Scotland. The facility, Charles River Laboratories, has been known to kill and mutilate animals during their drug and pesticide laboratory tests.
The pictures of the beagles in airline shipping crates obtained by PETA are absolutely devastating. And angering. How could Lufthansa do this?
But there is some good news here. Thanks to PETA's public shaming, Lufthansa has already agreed to stop shipping cats and dogs to their death. PETA is now asking that Lufthansa apply this policy to all animals. If you feel the same, you can add your name on a list to Lufthansa vice president Jens Bischof here.
