Hundreds of dogs to be used in research are being kept in dirty, overcrowded, and “barbaric” conditions at a Virginia breeding facility, according to an animal rights group whose drone footage has since gone viral.

The drone video was captured by the animal rights group SHARK—Showing Animals Respect & Kindness—over two days from June 29 to June 30. It shows hundreds of beagles kept in the Covance Research Products facility in Cumberland.
