Former federal prosecutor Bonnie Klapper drafted the referral, which urges New York authorities to launch an immediate investigation and secure the welfare of animals currently housed at the site. The documentation relies on eyewitness accounts detailing alleged mistreatment, providing a grim backdrop for the upcoming two-week protest.
Activists Demand Probe Into Marshall BioResources Following Cruelty Claims
With a 207-mile trek across New York set to begin on September 12, organizers of the March to Abolish Animal Testing have filed a criminal referral against Marshall BioResources. The move follows explosive whistleblower evidence alleging systemic cruelty toward dogs at the facility, intensifying pressure on federal regulators.
Participants intend to walk from Albany to North Rose, culminating in a rally at the company's gates on September 26. Ella Magers, co-director of the march, emphasized that the new evidence heightens the urgency of their mission, noting that thousands of dogs remain inside the facility while officials review the claims. The group also plans to deliver a letter to HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr., signed by over 250 scientists, calling for an end to canine testing. For organizers, the march represents a refusal to ignore industrial practices hidden behind closed doors.
