Wayne, "It is important to remember that every villain is just a future friend . . . accept suffering without retaliation." Jeryl's statement, "I just wanted to save one dog" is a great tagline. Risa M

We absolutely must continue to expose the system that requires brutality from randomly selected “authorities” who are willing to sell their souls for cold hard cash. Money is just an agreement humans fell into with each other. It’s not truly representative of our collective morality. It’s a fiction that we are feeling imprisoned by…it’s not REAL. Not like Jeryl’s tears were.

agree. beginning with transforming the our culture's perverse mindset from scarcity to abundance.

I wish we would ask these officers whether they would do what they are doing if not for money, ask them directly, not only during confrontations, but whenever we have the chance. I wonder if they are able to self reflect at all ... what a huge wound to carry, not being able or willing to self reflect with care for self, for other, for the collective. I am sad for them, and hope they wake from the nightmare imposed on them by their beliefs.

They are brainwashed.

Dougy's avatar

They were protecting and serving. Because of your myopic mindset you don't see it that way but...

Lynn Kennedy's avatar

Hahaha. Seriously? Protecting perverse torture of animals. This mindset is exactly the problem. The public needs to under EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE Riglan.

Dougy's avatar

Can you link me to footage of the torture? I've yet to see it.

• Every voice matters

• Name the villain

• Take the moral high ground

• Courage of purpose

These should be our guiding principles for saving the 2,000 beagles in Ridglan Farms’ dog torture chamber.

With a very special thank you and admiration for Jeryl. I hope you are recovering from the police and security guard brutality and get your wish to save one dog.

When an activist snatched a baton from an officer, was that taking the moral high ground?

If every voice matters why is Wayne making all the decisions? I saw numerous activists say "can you stop publicizing this and do it in secret because of the backlash?" Their voices didn't matter because, to Wayne, THEY didn't matter. You are cogs in Wayne's machine to do his bidding. Oh...and who's the ONE person that was not pepper sprayed or hit with rubber bullets? King Wayne!

Dougy's avatar

What's your plan to scale this for cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, fish...?

I so admire Jeryl, and your reflections are so helpful, Wayne, not only in describing these events, but in helping to shape future actions and attitudes. I do have one strategic suggestion to consider for any future confrontations like those last Saturday. Whenever possible have someone or someone’s on hand ready to film a specific event as it happens. How powerful would it be to actually see you thrown to the ground and arrested. And imagine if what was done to Jeryl had been filmed … the outrage and sympathy would be multiplied by 1000 times. Without footage the sheriff, company spokespeople, and biased news journalists can, as they have done, claim that the demonstrators were the violent perpetrators. Anyone who was there saw the restraint and kindness of 99% of all of you brave protesters, and the violent acts of the demonstrators. Bless you all for your ongoing efforts on behalf of these innocent dogs, and on behalf of those of us who were not there in body but were (and are) with you in spirit.

What a beautiful heroine, “I just wanted to save one dog”! Thank you Wayne for helping the AR movement maintain clarity and direction.

Go to a fucking shelter.

Edel Sanders's avatar

Thank you for your thoughtful words and courageous actions. May all sincere activists, precious beagles and living beings know peace and justice.

Is Jeryl is jail? I feel so sad for her “I just wanted to save one dog” 😭

Dougy's avatar

She could have gone to a shelter but she's insane and clearly has no one that cares for her bc there's no way I'd let my grandma follow this piece of shit, Wayne.

John's avatar

I meant would have seen the “nonviolent” act is of the demonstrators. My bad.

Thank you.

“Every villain is a future friend.”

This exemplifies the spirit with which this group came to rescue the suffering Dogs when no one else would…

You didn't have "1,000+ activists." I have been counting the people in photos & video for three days now. The most in any one scene, counting cops, was 125. 100 is the high range. The most recent photo purporting to show "1,000" showed 89. Going by the standard crowd-counting technique of enlarging to maximum visibility, counting the most dense part of the crowd by marking each individual & then doubling the count to account for people outside of the image area, you had about 250 at most, which after subtracting cops & media left 200. That is still a lot of people for an out-of-the-way place.

Dougy's avatar

Doesn't the town have a population of 1,000 or so? I'm positive every citizen isn't in law enforcement. If 1,000 activists were there and managed to do absolutely nothing to save one dog, it looks worse for Wayne.

I'm Canadian and when it became public knowledge that beagles were being used for "science" at a university facility and medical hospital in London Ontario it hit the front pages. Activists were on site, and our premier brought forward a change in the legislation to prevent cats and dogs from being used in these ways. The University had egg on its face, the researcher tried to justify the methodology, the dogs were removed. Two are still unaccounted for but we are working hard to find where they have been moved to. Supposedly to a rescue. One of our group adopted a beagle, and he is severely traumatized. He's living a much better life now, but has a ways to go.
