I've not seen any media coverage other than on Facebook. It's atrocious what those animals are put through. Doubt this rescue attempt is going to be successful, but more people need to be made aware of this situation.
Here's a local piece:

Not until I saw this piece. Wow, what an awful facility. I've raised beagles for 45 years and would NEVER do any of those things to any of our dogs. These people are really messed up, IMO.

Those dogs deserve to live a normal life.

Just because they didn't get the beagles out today, means nothing about tomorrow.
Or the next day.
Or the next.
