42 beagles were rescued in Bengaluru

Remember the famous scene from the movie 101 Dalmatians when the imprisoned puppies ran scot free after being released from Cruella de Vil's trap? Something similar happened in Bengaluru recently when 42 out of 156 beagles left their cages and experienced freedom for the first time.

The life of these adorable four-legged creatures changed overnight when a Bengaluru-based laboratory had to set them free after the government refused to grant permission to use dogs for experiments. In 2013, India banned animal testing for cosmetics.

Most of the dogs, some between the age group of 7 to 10, grew up in the cage and never expected to see the daylight.

The Bengaluru beagles were rescued by animal rights organization Compassion Unlimited Plus Action or CUPA, as they had nowhere to go. The CUPA members are currently accepting applications from prospective adoptive homes.

On Tuesday, May 17, CUPA volunteers posted pictures and a video of the dogs being taken to a temporary shelter on Facebook.
