18th April 2026
Hundreds of animal rights activists in Wisconsin were thwarted by the police and private security guards as they tried to steal thousands of beagles from a facility that breeds them for sale to research labs and for experiments done on site. Officers and guards fired tear gas and rubber bullets on the estimated 1,000 protesters, witnesses said, to keep them from entering the facility, Ridglan Farms, a state-licensed dog breeder. Ridglan breeds beagles for biomedical research aimed at improving veterinary medicine. The company has denied that it abuses animals. The raid on Ridglan Farms had been planned for weeks, allowing the facility and the police to prepare for what protesters deemed a civil action. Activists said that at least 26 people were arrested. Elise Schaffer, a spokeswoman for the Dane County Sheriff’s Office, said that officers recovered tools from the activists that could have been used to break into the building, but no dogs were taken.
