1,500 beagles have been rescued from a controversial US research facility 🐶⁠ ⁠ Animal welfare groups have struck a deal to remove the dogs from Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin following protests last month, where police confirmed multiple arrests after activists entered the site. Around 1,000 of the beagles are being re-homed, while others will be taken in by partner organisations.⁠ ⁠ However, roughly 500 dogs are still at the facility as discussions continue. The site has previously denied mistreatment, although a prosecutor said certain procedures breached veterinary standards. Rescuers say many of the dogs are already showing friendly behaviour and responding well to human attention as they begin the process of finding new homes.⁠ ⁠ #dogs #animalwelfare #ladbible
