Sounds like the medical examiners were lazy, just relying on police reports to shirk their responsibility to investigate the cause of death. Either that or just assholes with a boner for the cops. Unless they are getting kickbacks.

Mixed thoughts on the outcome of this lawsuit. "Envigo's parent company, Inotiv, has agreed to pay the record eight-figure settlement. It has also agreed to not breed dogs for the next five years." Like, how about a permanent ban? Five years, are you kidding me? Better than nothing, but cummon.

I'm glad that a portion of the money fined will go towards the activists actually rehabilitating/rehoming these beagles. "The agreement calls for the company to pay $22m to the US government, as well as pay approximately $1.1m to the Virginia Animal Fighting Task Force and approximately $1.9m to the Humane Society of the United States for their help rescuing the beagles."
