Heartwarming: Test Beagles' Journey From Fauci's NIH Experimentation Lab to Forever Home
2025-05-09
[RedState] National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Jay Bhattacharya announced the closure Monday of the agency’s last beagle laboratory, ending controversial experiments on the NIH campus linked to Dr. Anthony Fauci, RedState reported.

In light of this wonderful news, we spoke to a couple in Virginia who were among the first two people to adopt and rescue Beagles experimented on at the Envigo lab in Virginia, which was featured in a heartbreaking undercover piece from PETA. Warning: it’s not for the faint of heart, seeing how these little pups were tortured.

In the case of full disclosure, these two wonderful people are members of my own family. My sister Vickie Sipes and her husband Danny Sipes both work in Washington, D.C., and live about an hour west of the Capitol.

They talked about their pups' journey from those experimentation labs, to the adoption when they brought home not one but two beagles they named Max and Darby. Also, about the challenges they went through rehabilitating the puppies, and how these two lovable dogs became a wonderful part of their family and found their forever homes.

For those that might not remember, an undercover investigation discovered the cruel experiments being done on Beagles by the NIH labs run by Fauci, RedState reported. Some of the painful medical experiments being performed on the pups can be found here and are truly heartbreaking.

In 2022, RedState also reported on the massive rescue of 4,000 Beagles living in “deplorable” conditions at the facility in Cumberland, VA. That year, a federal judge approved a request by the Justice Department and the Humane Society to remove them. The puppies were sent to animal shelters across the country to find homes.

#1  I remember when Beagle Labs was a conspiracy theorist's fever dream deserving of being shouted down.
