The Humane Society of the United States went undercover, investigating animal testing at one of the largest contract research organizations in the world. Officials found dozens of beagles and hounds that were force-fed fungicides to test a new pesticide product at a lab in Michigan.The undercover video is hard to watch. "In some cases, the animals are forced to ingest substances either by putting a gel capsule down their throats or with a tube,” Kathleen Conlee, vice president of Animal Research Issues at the Humane Society of the United States, can be heard saying in the undercover video. For some, it’s hard to fathom. However, Conlee says this kind of animal testing happens more often than we think. "There are about 60,000 dogs at about 350 facilities in the United States right now, and I think the public is very shocked to learn that it's at that scale,” Conlee says. And that's just dogs. Conlee explains when you factor in all animals, the number being used for testing is closer to 25 million per year. "That's warm-blooded animals that doesn't include fish, reptiles, amphibians," she explains. In this case out of Michigan, 36 beagles were being used to test pesticides for a company called Dow Chemical Company. It’s a practice that is not against the law. "The company is doing legal activities,” Conlee says. “Nothing illegal was happening." Often times, Conlee says federal agencies like the FDA and EPA request animal tests to approve products or provide funding for experiments. Most recently, the U.S.D.A. was under fire by a separate animal watchdog group for alleged "kitten cannibalism,” where they report experiments involving feeding kittens to dogs. These are practices Conlee says should stop."We're going to be calling on these agencies to change their practices,” she says. 1826

The alleged victims of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are angry they will not get the opportunity to face in court the man they say raped them as girls."We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed, the pain and trauma he caused so many people," Jennifer Araoz, who accused Epstein of raping her when she was 15, said in a statement.The multimillionaire hedge fund manager's death from an apparent suicide Saturday in his cell ends the criminal case against him, but what does that mean for his accusers' quest for justice?Authorities have said they will continue to investigate Epstein's alleged actions, and US Attorney General William Barr said Monday the case "will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein." At the same time, legal experts say the civil cases against Epstein, and anyone connected to the allegations in the case, will continue."It is a shame that Epstein will not face justice, and the survivors in this case will not have the satisfaction of his conviction," Scott Berkowitz, president of RAINN -- one of the largest anti-sexual violence organizations in the nation -- told CNN. "However, reporting has made clear that there were others who aided and abetted Epstein in his crimes, and we hope that the US attorney will continue to pursue those individuals. Epstein's death should not let them off the hook."Two unnamed accusers asked a federal judge to roll back a nonprosecution agreement that Epstein reached in 2008 in Florida, which provided immunity to his alleged co-conspirators, according to a court document filed Monday in 1691

The call came late one morning, and her world changed in an instant."The reason for this call is to inform you your card has been suspended for reasons of suspicious activity," the caller said."Ann," who agreed to an interview only if we changed her name, says the caller told her she was in trouble with the law."He identified himself as an agent. He said my Social Security number was misused, and that I now had 25 bank accounts, I had illegal drug activity, and have a warrant out for my arrest for money laundering," she said.The mom of three school-aged girls was shaken. She had never had legal trouble before, and here she learned that thieves were using her Social Security number to open multiple accounts and sell drugs — crimes that could land her in jail if she did not act fast."He said I needed to prove that I only have two bank accounts, not 25, and I needed to empty my accounts," Ann said. The caller became more hostile, and told Ann there was no time to discuss her case with anyone, especially her husband."All I could think about was, 'I am going to go to jail,' I have my kids with me, and I am thinking, 'I have to do this, I have to get this done,' " she said.Caller gives instructions to avoid jailFor Ann to clear her name and avoid arrest, the agent explained she needed to empty her savings account and forward the money to the Social Security Administration, where they would put it in a safe, temporary holding account. The caller was "very believable," she said."I emptied ,000 out of my bank account," the mom said.When the teller asked her why she was withdrawing such a large sum of cash, Ann said, "I lied and told her 'furniture.' " She was too terrified to let the teller know that a federal agent was on the phone listening to the entire transaction.Ann said the caller had such influence over her, she didn't even listen to her own daughter, whom she had brought along to the bank."I wasn't myself at all," she said. "My 13-year-old was like 'Mom that's a lot of money, why are you taking all that money out?' "But calling her husband for advice was not an option. "The guy said, 'don't tell your husband, you will compromise him,' " she said. 2199
