The COMPACT Act Press Conference | Shannon Keith and Beagle Freedom Project at the U.S. Capitol

At the U.S. Capitol, Shannon Keith hosted a press conference about the COMPACT Act, a bipartisan effort to end federal funding for biomedical testing on dogs and cats. Representatives Nick Langworthy and Mark Pocan joined the discussion, and the day was filled with passionate advocates and hopeful change makers, all focused on the future of beagle welfare. The discussion highlighted the importance of legislative action to safeguard animal lives.

During the event, Shannon was able to meet two rescued beagles, Charlie and Luna, who had been freed from an Oklahoma testing facility now called Freedom Fields. Their presence reminded everyone of the thousands of dogs still awaiting freedom. The organization thanks the congressmen for their support and invites viewers to join the ongoing fight to protect animals from testing, hoping for a future where no beagle is used in research. Viewers are encouraged to support advocacy efforts and stay informed about ongoing policy changes.
