| The Marshall family makes a killing breeding animals doomed to a life of hideous torture.
Gilman and Ina Marshall began Marshall Farms (based in North Rose, N.Y.) 60 years ago, breeding and selling ferrets for pets. Today, Marshall Farms sells its own line of pet products but is also a major supplier of animals, breeding tens of thousands of beagles and ferrets every year for use in hideous experiments for which there are humane alternatives. Marshall Farms also owns Butler Farms of Clyde, N.Y., where it breeds mongrel and hound dogs to sell to laboratories.

The Marshall Family’s Dirty Secret:
In advertisements for Marshall Pet Products, the company claims it "…cares as deeply about your ferret’s health and well-being as you do," but the ads the Marshall family doesn’t want the caring public to see are run in Lab Animal magazine. These ads prove that the ferrets and beagles they breed are nothing more than commodities to them. The following are from Marshall ads in Lab Animal: "All Marshall animals are raised in elevated, indoor pens that simulate the laboratory environment…"; "[b]y tracking all important characteristics and genetic information, and then weeding out undesirable stock, Marshall Farms can supply beagles ideal for research."
