Animal loving Prince Harry and Meghan are supporting a ban on using beagle dogs for testing. And they have adopted seven-year-old beagle Mamma Mia - their third rescue dog - after the closure of a dog testing centre.
Mamma Mia was one of 4,000 dogs rescued from a US site in Cumberland, Virginia, which has since been shut. Beagle Freedom Project, which saved Mamma Mia and gained the support of the Duke and Duchess, is now hoping to win a campaign to close UK breeding site MBR Acres.
Shannon Keith, project director, told The Mirror: “The Duchess, when she called me, said she’s been supporting Beagle Freedom Project for years and completely supports our mission. She specifically said the reason she wanted to adopt from us was to get the message out that it’s important to adopt from animal testing and that she supports ending animal testing.”
