Company that bred beagles for research pleads guilty to neglect, ordered to pay record $35M fine
Envigo RMS and its parent company Inotiv will pay a record $35 million settlement for neglecting thousands of dogs at their beagle breeding facility in Virginia.
Inotiv pleaded guilty to animal welfare violations, resulting in a ban on breeding or selling dogs for both companies.
The settlement includes an $11 million fine for breaking the Animal Welfare Act and another $11 million fine for violating the Clean Water Act.
