The regular practices you describe taking place at Ridglan are absolutely horrifying. I feel so much empathy for the workers who are made to participate in and witness such atrocities day in and day out while at their jobs. They must become inured to seeing and feeling the horrors taking place. No wonder there is so much violence in the world. I've watched the video of Julie and her fellow puppies in confinement a number of times, but it never gets any easier to see and to not tear up.

I hope Judge Lanford's record of fairness and compassion will prevail, and that her ruling will send a strong message that these practices and conditions will no longer be allowed to go unnoticed and will be stopped.

Just as industrial farming takes place behind locked doors, without the light of day, animal “research” labs are allowed to operate with impunity. It is so damn heartbreaking to hear about. Wayne, I am so glad you and Simple Heart are getting the word out about their incredibly abusive practices. Godspeed, my friend.
