    DAY 4 - March 2 End Animal Tests

    Day Four of the historic 207-mile March to End Animal Testing is underway across New York State. Marchers departed Fultonville at approximately 8:30 this morning and are expected to arrive at Haslett Park in Fort Plain around 4:30 p.m., completing another demanding leg of their 14-day journey to the gates of Marshall BioResources. With every mile, activists, scientists, and compassionate citizens are calling attention to the thousands of beagles and other animals bred, confined, and used in laboratory experiments—and demanding an immediate transition to modern, human-relevant, non-animal research methods. Tonight's livestreamed program is expected to begin around 5:35–5:40 p.m. March co-founders Gretchen Primack and Ella Magers will each speak for approximately 20 minutes. Gretchen will share poetry, followed by a fireside chat with Ella about the march and the growing movement to end animal testing. The marchers' demands remain clear: release the beagles held in laboratories, close animal-testing facilities, and end government funding for cruel and outdated animal experiments. Marshall BioResources denies allegations of animal cruelty and says it has received a clean bill of health from the USDA. Company and industry representatives are invited to appear at any time to respond and discuss their practices in the court of public opinion. The march continues—and so does the call for science guided by innovation, compassion, and respect for all sentient beings. VISIT: MarchForAnimals.org to follow the march and get involved.

    DAY 3: March 2 End Animal Tests

    As the morning sun rises over Fultonville, the relentless energy of the historic 207-mile March to Abolish Animal Testing continues to reverberate across New York State. Today, determined activists, scientists, and compassionate citizens complete another grueling leg of this 14-day trek, pressing forward with a singular, unwavering mission: to march directly to the gates of Marshall Bioresources. This is not just a march; it is a turning point. As society undergoes a profound cultural shift toward empathy and technological innovation rapidly accelerates, the outdated practice of animal experimentation is facing unprecedented scrutiny. Across the nation, public awareness is reaching a fever pitch. People from all walks of life are waking up to the reality that sentient beings—especially gentle dogs like the thousands of beagles bred, caged, and tested on behind closed doors—deserve freedom, not exploitation. Modern science has already proven that we can innovate without cruelty. Advanced non-animal technologies, organ-on-a-chip systems, and sophisticated computer modeling render animal testing obsolete, making the continued use of living, breathing animals an ethical and scientific failure. The demands of this growing national movement are clear, absolute, and unyielding: The immediate release of all beagles currently held in laboratory facilities. The total closure of all animal testing facilities across the United States. The complete termination of all government funding for archaic and cruel animal experimentation. As momentum builds and millions watch this monumental campaign unfold across digital and broadcast media, the spotlight is intensely focused on the industry. Marshall BioResources denies allegations of animal cruelty, saying they've gotten a clean bill of health from the USDA. Industry representatives are invited on anytime to respond, defend, or discuss their practices in the court of public opinion.

    DAY 2: End Animal Testing March

    Day Two of the historic March to Abolish Animal Testing in New York State is underway. It all kicked off in Albany on September 12th, 2026 with fiery speeches demanding an end to animal experimentation in an era of AI, quantum science, and organs-on-a-chip. After resting overnight in Schenectady, the resilient group of activists is tackling another grueling 15-mile trek toward the Amsterdam, New York area, where they've just arrived! While 1,000 marchers have signed up overall, supporters continue to cycle in and out, with many joining individual legs of the journey. The ultimate destination is Marshall BioResources (MBR) in North Rose, New York—the nation's largest breeder of beagles for laboratory experimentation. Marchers are demanding the permanent closure of the facility and the immediate release of the estimated 16,000 to 20,000 beagles housed inside, mirroring the shutdowns of the notorious Envigo and Ridglan facilities. Pressure continues to mount on MBR following a detailed 40-plus-page animal cruelty complaint submitted to the local district attorney by famed former prosecutor Bonnie Klapper. MBR denies the allegations, says it operates in compliance with USDA regulations, and has an open invitation to respond further. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell, Lindsey Baker, and reporter on the ground Jami Sassone are providing exclusive, daily LIVE coverage leading up to the high-stakes climax at the facility gates on September 26th.

    Day 1 - First Stop: March vs Animal Tests

    BE PART OF HISTORY! Welcome to UnchainedTV's live coverage of the historic March to End Animal Testing, broadcasting directly New York. This is a moment in animal rights history! Our team brings you to the front lines as hundreds unite for a 14-day, 207-mile trek from New York State's capitol to the country's largest beagle-breeding facility, Marshall BioResources in North Rose, New York. Americans of all backgrounds have come together to say: enough with cruel, irrelevant and unreliable animal experimentation. On this first stop, Schenectady, activists gathered to rest up, eat dinner and hear from NY State Senator Jim Tedisco and Victoria Moran of Main Street Vegan Academy. We also talk to a young man facing 31 years in prison for his part in the rescue of beagles this past spring from the Ridglan Farm beagle breeding facility in Wisconsin. That rescue saga, which resulted in the release of all 1,500 beagles and the closure of Ridglan, led to this campaign to close an even bigger facility in New York. We invite any companies mentioned to respond. Now. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell, Lindsey Baker and Jami Sassone bring you the latest.
