I am unable to join you in Wisconsin, unfortunately. But I will donate and share and support! I had the unfortunate experience of speaking to special prosecutor Gruenke regarding Richland Farms and he’s everything you say he is. Everything. Thank you, Wayne.

Wow, tell me more about this! What did he say?

As you suggested before the decision to end Ridglan Farms, I made repeated efforts to reach the special prosecutor. Finally, one day, his receptionist put me through. Surprise! I then had 7 or 8 minute conversation asking him what he has done to help the Ridglan dogs. He responded that he is doing things that he cannot reveal. It became adversarial and he became insulting and blustering. I never raised my voice. At that point I ended the call. Wayne, he is everything you described. I actually thought he was quite thuggish. I just want add as a retiree in Florida, I do everything I can to support right to rescue an animal liberation. You are one of my heroes.

How about joining forces with White Coat Waste? They do similar rescue work.

I don’t see how to donate money? I’ve asked brother-in-law if there’s some way I can donate money for him to borrow a small plane to bring some dogs to Idaho.

We're honestly not in great need of donations right now. Subscribing to the newsletter always helps! That may change soon, but right now, our primary need is human power. However, if you'd like to donate, you can make a check to Simple Heart Initiative to

It's legitimate to put my cat rescue first.

I imagine you'd be driving around in La Crosse County, Wisconsin, wondering whether it's a place you'd want to stay. How do you suppose the local inhabitants feel?

Wayne Hsiung's avatar

Honestly, I bet they're on our side!

First if all, dude, it's not committing a crime to rescue abused animals just as smashing a car window to rescue a dog is not a crime.

Second, I run a cat rescue and also have a horse. That is a priority.

Third, I have since learned not all roles require risk

Last, I am no longer active here and with this particular rescue organization as I have disagreement with their communication style and issues of inclusion. That's my personal opinion. I fully support their efforts however
