I also have animals in my life that I’ll go to prison for. I even hope that if it comes to it I’d protect them with my life. And while not every animal has a human protector in their life, every single one of them deserves to live their life free, unharmed and according to the needs of their species. With people like you, your wife, Dean, Aditya, Michelle, and all the other heroes of Ridglan farms, this is a dream that we are coming closer to. I am deeply grateful to you for inspiring us, showing us the way and bringing out the best in us ❤️

Aside from my general family, my beagle Emma has been the most impactful soul in my entire life! I would go to prison to protect her in a heartbeat. If I lived in America I would have been shoulder to shoulder with you all at Ridglan! I SOOOOOO admire you all for your brave efforts and LOOK WHAT IT'S ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR!! You really are heroes in our eyes. Beagles are the kindest, most gentle, loving, incredible souls in the dog world I believe and I just can't say enough THANK YOUs to you all for what you are doing to protect my Emma's bread. Bless you all! x

Wayne, what you are doing is absolutely amazing. I own a vegan bakery in Massachusetts, and I’d say 90% of our customers—even those who don't typically follow animal rights news—are talking about Ridland right now. You are successfully bringing animal rights into everyone’s field of vision and forcing a level of awareness that is historic! Thank you for your courage, as far as I am concerned, you and your wife are absolute heroes. Also, congratulations on your new addition!🐾

Wayne,

Thousands of AR folks know that it is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 ceaseless devotion to these beagles (since 2017) and 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 self-sacrifice that pushed Ridglan to negotiate with Lauree S. and Wayne P.

Ridglan would not speak to John Ramer of 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺 earlier this year.

Ridglan was marketing puppies at San Diego's 𝙏𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙀𝙓𝙋𝙊, March 22–25.

Ridglan was willing to kill and sell dead dogs as cadavers for $20, if not as lab specimens for $1,000.

What pushed Ridglan into selling to Lauree's 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘋𝘰𝘨 𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩? You. You and 1,000 open-rescue volunteers who-- in their eyes-- are the proverbial BARBARIANS AT THE GATES. (With white flowers!)

Abusers cannot beat you, Wayne, because 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥. So they must surrender. To save face, they surrendered via other organizations.

You already know this. I'm writing to you to assure you that 𝘸𝘦 all know this as well.

Now is the time to keep pushing for animal rights. I wrote to ever official I could find in Dane County for the release of the beagles at Ridglan Farms. I regularly file complaints with my congressman, Tim Burchett regarding the end of animal testing. I do know for a fact that if you file a congressional complaint, they have to respond. People standing in a united front is the only way to end this. Wayne, if you have a list of people to contact or where to file complaints, sign petitions, please post them.

Bless you, Wayne and everyone involved in the rescues. The perversity of our society begins with how animals are treated. I'm writing about this.
