11:15 pm
rarely made public. this video from an undercover peta investigation shows a worker force feeding a beagle oxycontin. another investigation revealed beagles going crazy after being confined for years. >> i think it's really important to note that there is no experiment on dogs that's illegal. experiments have to be approved by committee within a laboratory, but nothing is against the law. so they're put through all kind of cruelty. >> reporter: peta says most dogs end up euthanized. it's rare for beagles bred for a life in the lab to end up here. >> laboratories don't want to release the animals to us. they simply don't want the information out there. >> reporter: back in the bay area at riley's new home casey is learning a whole new way of living, too. >> i'm just going to hit the scan button. >> reporter: she use an app to figure out how to avoid products that are animal tested. >> this product is cruelty free. >> reporter: three weeks after our first visit it's clear this former lab dog is living the
