Mission: Bloodied Beagles, Infected Monkeys Exposed at U.S.-Sanctioned Lab in India

Update (June 29, 2026): In a major development following PETA India’s whistleblower-led exposé, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has slapped Palamur Biosciences—which has submitted animal testing data to the agency—with a warning letter fater an inspection, citing serious animal welfare problems at the animal experimentation laboratory and dog breeder.

The FDA warning comes after government-appointed inspectors in India investigated Palamur and found widespread abuse, documenting more than 1,200 animals crammed inside filthy enclosures and suffering from untreated injuries and neglect, confirming PETA India’s findings.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of animal suffering at Palamur, Indian authorities have yet to hold the facility accountable. PETA is urging top government officials to intervene. Add your voice to ours by taking action below to help shut down Palamur Biosciences!

Original post:

At this laboratory in India, bloodied beagles lie on the floor, minipigs are poisoned, and rhesus macaques are killed. 😰

PETA India has exposed the cruelty behind the closed doors of Palamur Biosciences, a major government-registered laboratory and beagle breeder that experiments on animals, including for clients in the U.S.

Pics and vids that PETA India got from whistleblowers show dogs suffering wounds and abscesses, pigs with bloody mouths, terrified monkeys, and neglectful staff. The following are just some of the many horrors reported by the whistleblowers and exposed by PETA India:

  • Palamur apparently got illegally wild-caught rhesus macaques from a supplier. Some tested positive for dangerous pathogens, but the company kept quiet and just killed the monkeys.
  • Dogs in some experiments suffered “like hell” with untreated and open, painful wounds, a whistleblower said. 😢
  • Dogs in other experiments suffered ulcers in their mouths or intestines, and footage shows dogs lying in pools of blood.
  • Staff often killed dogs without using sedation to make them less afraid and distressed.
  • Over 100 dogs were killed in a single incident simply because they were no longer considered “useful.”
  • Palamur didn’t have a license to breed minipigs at its facility, and when a female gave birth, staff painfully killed all of her piglets by cardiac injection without using sedation.

This dog developed a facial abscess, likely from a subcutaneous injection of a test compound, while others crammed into crowded cages suffered fight-related injuries.

what you can do

PETA is urging the National Institutes of Health to cancel its permit for Palamur that allows this hellhole to serve as a “performance site” for drug and other companies that want to submit test data to U.S. gov agencies. We need your help to get this whole cruel operation shut down.
