Wisconsin Facility Releases 1,500 Beagles for Adoption After Protests
A significant rescue operation is underway in Wisconsin, where 1,500 beagles have been released from Ridglan Farms, a facility near Madison that breeds dogs for biomedical research. The release follows protests and a confidential agreement between Ridglan Farms and animal welfare groups, including Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy. The facility had been under scrutiny for alleged animal mistreatment, leading to a decision to relinquish its state breeding license by July 1. The beagles are being prepared for adoption, with vaccinations and other necessary care being provided before they are moved to new homes across the country.
