Animals, Both Human and Canine in Rallies and March to End Animal Testing

(Oct.25, San Francisco) – Organized by the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), people and dogs, some of them rescued beagles, gathered at San Francisco’s United Nations Plaza.

They were there to call on Congress to pass the COMPACT Act (H.R.10522) to end federal funding of dog and cat experiments.

There, at the statue of liberator Simón Bolívar, speakers included Sherri Franklin, founder of Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, Zoe Rosenberg, recently convicted of rescuing chickens from Petaluma “Farms” and Rebekah Robinson, political director of the Save the Dogs.

Stopping at the Seventh Street Federal Building to Urge Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s support, the march, accompanied by multiple Beagles, some of them testing survivors, continued up Market Street.
