Wisconsin Beagle Farm Closes, Hundreds of Dogs Head to Florida Rescue
A Wisconsin beagle breeding farm, Ridglan Farms, is permanently closing its operations following years of animal welfare protests and legal challenges. The remaining 475 beagles are being transferred to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, a Florida-based organization. This agreement includes the cessation of the farm’s dog breeding, sales, research, and testing activities, with the rescued dogs to be prepared for adoption. The transfer of all dogs is expected to conclude by August.
