Animal research and animal agriculture aren’t separate fights.

At Fauna Connections, we challenged the divide between “research” and “farmed” animals—and explored how bridging it could strengthen our movement for all animals.

The animals are bred to order. Confined. Standardized, priced, sold, used, and killed.

Their bodies are treated as production units—whether the product is meat, milk, body parts, data, or publications.

First, label them “pests.”

Marshall BioResources touts its “clean” USDA inspection record. We reviewed 12 years of reports.

So what does “clean” really mean?

If you've followed the rescue of 2,000+ beagles from Ridglan Farms, you need to know about Marshall BioResources.

In May '26, federal inspectors reported:
9,171 adult dogs,
5,394 puppies, and
11,706 ferrets.
That's 26,271 animals at just ONE site.

Its new resolution sets no firm timeline, guarantees no animals sanctuary, and preserves primate experimentation.

Thousands of monkeys remain trapped. Nearly every meaningful question remains unanswered.
