Activists attempt to remove beagles from Wisconsin research facility, met with rubber bullets and arrests
Approximately 1,000 animal welfare activists gathered at Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, on Saturday attempting to remove roughly 2,000 beagles from the breeding research facility. Law enforcement responded with rubber bullets and pepper spray/tear gas, arresting multiple people including organizer Wayne Hsiung. Ridglan Farms had previously agreed to relinquish its breeding license by July 1 as part of a settlement to avoid animal cruelty charges.
