My son Dean is my whole world and I am very proud of him. He is giving up so much of his future to save animals being tortured. His latest advocacy effort to save the Ridglan beagles is testimony to his lifelong conviction. Without people like him there won’t be social change as he strives for a better world for humans and animals.

Love is powerful.

What kind of son comes from a vivsectionist that, according to you, abused dogs in his home during the son's childhood?

I am deeply grateful for your leadership, your passion, your love, your intellect, and your never ending dedication to the animals and these beagles in particular. Your contribution to changing history for suffering animals cannot be overestimated. We who support you are in awe.

There needs to be a march of 10,000 people through Dane County and a prayer vigil at that beagle prison. Let their violence on praying people show the world the corruption and insensitivity in that county.

Might want to actually get the 1,000 first...

They didn't. And what?!?

You WILL win with love. I subscribed today because you need an army of supporters. I am a new member of that army and we will prevail against these shameful terrorists. The world is watching.

Almost every person in this country believes what they're doing in Ridglan is unacceptable, and may that same spirit sing through the courts.

Pathetic and disgusted how these people in such positions manage the whole aftermath. It really shows how some have no ethics/values. Almost brainwashed…

We support you and your efforts in getting the beagles released from this horrific facility known as Ridglan Farm. Shame on the corruption that exists in the local & state government that protects this documented animal abuse facility.

We stand with you. We support you. We thank you and appreciate all of you. LOVE WILL WIN!

geez, this really shows how deeply engrained their beliefs are and what they will go through to protect it - but i agree, wayne. love will win. thinking of you, and the other courageous folks and the dogs.

This whole situation is unbelievable as I am still trying to understand how and why these heartless individuals have no compassion for the dogs and the rescuers.

How and why: I think: they see themselves as roped into corruption they cannot distinguish from normalcy --- or cannot afford to oppose/expose. This is further energized by the war voodoo at federal level.

My heart is with you and the others who have been charged Wayne. Thank you for continuing to be vulnerable and sharing. I flew in from Toronto on Friday and peacefully protested on Saturday at the 'Farm'. Among other things, I witnessed two officers violently yank Dean's leg to pull him off the hay bale. He was doing NOTHING but chanting into the megaphone. Then they tackled him to the ground - it was three of them I believe, while he was face first in the soil. I started videoing from only from the part that he was face down in the ground. I witnessed a great deal that day but the scene with Dean will stay with me for life because he was not in a threat in any capacity. They targeted him because his smile and positivity presented a threat to them. I will note - NO warnings were given to him, they just went straight to violence.

The Dane County government should be afraid.  Love is more powerful than cruelty, and it will win.

Love you all! Lets get these dogs released! 🐕

Never doubt that people will fight to protect their own monetary interests and power.

But, people who bring fierce love and compassion to the table will ultimately prevail, no matter the setbacks.

Money and power are fleeting; we cannot cling to them. Love connects us all on a much deeper, lasting level.
