Beagle lab protesters tear-gassed

The activists were seeking to breach the property to remove thousands of beagles that are bred for medical experimentation.

This was the second major protest at the facility in as many months, highlighting the growing intensity of the animal welfare movement.

Law enforcement defended the use of force, stating it was necessary to protect private property and ensure public safety.

The incident has sparked a renewed debate over the ethics of animal testing and the tactics used by advocacy groups.
