"... another $7 million will be used to update their facilities to higher standards than required under the Animal Welfare Act".

How can they be fined + then be recompensed to upgrade their facility??? Something is rotten in Denmark...
The beagle abuse will continue...

About $22 million of the payment is a criminal fine, about $3 million will be given to the Humane Society of the United States and Virginia Animal Fighting Taskforce, $3.5 million will be donated to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for ecosystem restoration and another $7 million will be used to update their facilities to higher standards than required under the Animal Welfare Act.

Especially after what they did to the dogs. Its hard to find a sweeter animal than a little Beagle. They're very amenable to anything humans want to do to them. Same for when they were using Greyhounds off the track (and they were free!)

But this is one thing I do agree with PETA on. End animal testing!
