Canine Blood Prison Hemopet Closes

Following a PETA investigation and the hard-fought passage of a landmark California bill to phase out the operation of businesses that keep dogs perpetually caged for their blood, Hemopet—a captive-canine blood bank in Garden Grove—shut down. No more greyhounds will be warehoused in tiny crates and barren kennels at this dog prison and sham “rescue” so that it can sell their blood to veterinary clinics, and the remaining ones will reportedly be adopted.
