I guess I've always known that "some" of the ferrets they breed go to "research" facilities, but I've never done my due diligence in learning more about this until now. The extent of their breeding of ferrets, beagles, and other animals purely for torturous experimentation and vivisection is far beyond what I had thought. Shame on me for ever spending even a dime to purchase products from this company. The more I read, the more I'm sickened. I don't want to debate the "need" for experimenting on animals and sacrificing them for human benefit... I will never be convinced. I just want to provide more information for those that, like me, never knew the extent to which Marshall Farms was involved in this business.
