Hi John,

I'm writing to you from Madison, Wisconsin where dozens of animal advocates are currently demonstrating outside the Dane County District Attorney's Office, calling for charges to be filed against Ridglan Farms, one of the last remaining beagle factory farms in the US. Inside this facility, DxE investigators have documented dogs crammed into small cages, often alone, with no access to the outdoors; noxious air and feces building up beneath the cages; dogs with red and swollen feet from standing on wire cage floors; and dogs showing signs of extreme psychological torment like spinning endlessly in circles and bouncing off the cage walls.

On March 8, the District Attorney dropped all charges ( [link removed] ) against three people who were involved in a DxE investigation and open rescue at Ridglan Farms in 2017. While this is a small win for the Right to Rescue (and a sign that public pressure works!), it is also a clear attempt to cover up animal cruelty that would have been exposed in court. Ridglan Farms admitted to the media ( [link removed] ) that they wanted the case dismissed because "In the weeks leading up to the trial, we observed the public spectacle being planned by animal research opposition groups across the country." They wanted us to stay home and stay silent. Instead, we're coming together and raising our voices all week to demand justice for the dogs abused by Ridglan. And you can help!
