(From Wayne's team) Updated call to action: Nonviolent activists rescuing beagles from Ridglan’s breeding facility and bringing them to safety.

The remaining beagles still trapped inside cages need our help. Please call the authorities and ask them to take action.

TAKE ACTION: Call the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and ask them to release the 8 beagles to adoption. These 8 beagles were taken from activists while they were carrying them to safety.

I personally am SO grateful to ALL of you for sacrificing SO much for those innocent souls!🙏🙏.

What more can we do? Are there more of these rescues happening again ? I unfortunately missed this rescue and feel like I left the beagles down. And I want to do ANYTHING to help!

I'm so sorry Wayne!💔 My heart aches knowing all the sufferings animals have to go through in this wrong world. I'm also so sorry about all of you brave activists that do not hesitate when confronted with pure evil on Earth. I tell myself all the time that, against all the horror and abuses there is only one way and that is to resist at all costs. No matter what they'll do they will never win. I would rather prefer to disappear myself into the unknown than compromising my dignity and integrity and give up on animals as some would viciously pretend. We all do our best. We resist, we suffer, we scream against all that is unjust but never to give in to the perpetrators of this mischievous world. All my love to all of you wherever you are in prison or out there facing evil on a daily basis...

Thanks and love to all the activists who rescued the beagles from Ridglan "Farms" yesterday. Your courage and inspiring actions made a difference to 22 sentient beagles who will soon be in loving homes for the rest of their lives. And I hope what you did and are doing will make differences in the U.S. and other countries' legal systems so they recognize that an other-than-human animal is not like a dented can, as one prosecutor said, but a living being. And I hope that what you did and are doing will move the consciences of everyone on the planet towards compassion for all beings.

Gut wrenching read. A deep, penetrating grief strikes my soul for you, Wayne, for the other activists, for those who are incarcerated—and for the beagles. For the 9 who knew the purest love, tenderness, and sacrifice that the human heart is capable of, only to be inhumanely ripped away and returned to their horror. Still, my hope is with you, Wayne, and with all of you. Evil rips through this world like wildfire, seeking not only to destroy bodies, but to scorch the human spirit itself. Yet this rescue stood as a living defiance of that fire. Whatever the outcome, it bore witness to something stronger. Courage, mercy, and love that refuses to yield.

Edit: Take heart—news is spreading like WILDFIRE! Good can—and does—spark just as much fury and flame!! I’m sharing this with everyone I know. People are beginning to protest online, even those who I know are not vegan. Expose this injustice from the rooftops!

Dear Wayne,

What you and the others are doing is genuinely groundbreaking.

Throughout history, real change has often come from people with the mindset and resolve to step directly into injustice and expose it in a way that can’t be quietly ignored.

That willingness to face consequences personally in order to bring hidden suffering into the light is rare, and it forces society to confront questions it would rather avoid.

Many of us care deeply about animals and try to help where we can, but we are still several steps removed from the reality those animals live in.

Your willingness to stand so close to that suffering and refuse to look away from it is extraordinary.

The question that stays with me isn’t only about the cruelty itself, but how moments like this actually translate into real change.

If it takes people going to jail just to expose what is happening to these animals, what will it take before governments are forced to change the laws that allow it to continue?

Beyond grateful for you and your team!

Team Hsiung has made history. I have taken action with calling the DA office a few times, social media action, and chipping in. I am plugged and ready to take more action in the support role. With respect, from Dallas.
