Members of an Iowa animal sanctuary were part of an attempted raid on a Wisconsin beagle breeding facility on April 18. The protests followed a settlement reached last fall that required Ridglan Farms, one of the largest beagle breeding facilities in the country, to surrender its state breeding license by July 1 after a special prosecutor found that certain eye procedures performed on dogs violated state veterinary standards. State regulators have documented hundreds of violations at the facility, though Ridglan has denied abusing or mistreating animals. Ridglan may continue breeding beagles for its own internal research, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. At least 25 people were arrested on April 18 at Ridglan Farms, where between 300 and 400 activists attempted to breach the facility and free the dogs, according to the Dane County Sheriff's Office.
