Good luck. I know you are trying to end this legally. It must be exhausting, but we stand behind you.

Thanks for this detailed and powerful outline of where things stand and how we got here. DA Ozanne and his higher-ups in Madison still have three weeks to understand that it's in *their* interests to enforce the laws they are entrusted with enforcing before 1500-plus nonviolent activists descend on Dane County to rescue the 2000 beagles who are suffering such horrific abuse. I have to think Sheriff Barrett and his deputies have better things to do with their time than policing a massive peaceful demonstration and arresting and processing thousands of rescuers. Let's hope they see that filling Dane County's jails with thousands of peaceful activists who are merely exercising their legal right to rescue is a waste of time and resources they can avoid simply by doing their jobs: shutting down Ridglan Farms and working with the hundreds of shelters and individuals who are ready and willing to adopt these dogs and give them the loving homes they deserve.

Thank you for this information about the legal issues…it’s so important because the dogs cannot speak for themselves, the voiceless have no power, it’s up to us to defend and protect them when corporate interests do not. As usual, it’s all about money!!!

Torturing animals is unethical. In labs or in homes! Animals are not ours to do with what we justify as a society!! These prosecutors are derelict in their position!! It’s deplorable that money takes presedence over abusing animals!! 😡😢

Unfortunately this wholesale abuse and slaughter doesn't end with Ridglan. Thank you

WAYNE!

You are right, it is one at a time. Then on to the next one.

We can not stand with this as being legal; testing, etc. These institutions NEED to be shut down completely. We need to not stop at rescuing but completely shutting down all institutions, across the country. This is INHUMANE CRUELTY. Let them test on their children, siblings, parents if they are looking for research NOT on the voiceless 🙏. These innocent souls deserve JUSTICE and to be FREE 🙏

Ahh, hoisted by their own petard! But there is a more serious subversion of the legal process here in this stowing away of the request for prosecution from the regulators..

Thank you, Wayne, for bringing the abuse of law and power into the open. Giving a voice to the poor beagles who have no voice.

Good luck for April 19th, you have ALL my love, respect and admiration from over here, across The Pond! I only wish I could be there to assist you with the rescue

Do beagles get along with cats? If so I like to adopt a beagle 🙏🏽
