The lives of 400 dogs are at stake. Since AstraZeneca is downsizing and closed two of their research facilities in Sweden the dogs are a surplus not needed in the country. AstraZeneca have stated that the dogs cannot be rehomed with families but will instead be sent to labs in the UK. AstraZeneca confirms they contract Huntingdon Life Sciences for some of their testing and activists fear the dogs could be sent there to be used in gruesome experiments.
