Today, we will call on the University of Illinois Board of Trustees to drop Ridglan and phase out animal testing. Amplify the pressure by calling in and demanding the same thing. Recently, the Illinois Institute of Technology dropped ties with Ridglan when they received calls like this, so it can work! Check out the last slide for a flier with an example script and the contact information.

1,500 beagles were recently released from Ridglan Farms following activist pressure and an attempted rescue! But the fight is not over yet. 500 beagles are still trapped at Ridglan.

Thousands more are exploited in research facilities elsewhere throughout the US, along with millions of other animals.

One of those places is Marshall BioResources (MBR). At MBR, animals live their lives in cages to be used over and over again in painful, distressing “learned helplessness” experiments. Just like the Ridglan dogs, they deserve a home, safety, and freedom.

Join us on May 23 at the Chicago Water Tower Place for an outreach event. We will urge Chicagoans to support our call to investigate MBR, end the breeding of dogs for experimentation, and funnel more funding into non-animal research methods.

We will have signs and leaflets available, but feel free to bring your own! Invite other animal lovers and spread the word.

BREAKING: The dogs are getting out! Ridglan just signed a deal to release the beagles confined at their animal testing and breeding facility in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. Rescues are working to get the dogs to safety as soon as possible.

Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen. This was only possible because people took action and created enough public pressure. Now, let’s replicate this effort for every animal in need.

Activists failed in their effort to remove 2,000 beagles from a controversial Wisconsin breeding farm. Now, they are entering the next phase of their campaign – the public relations battle. MORE BELOW⬇️

The Dane County Sheriff's office said a "significant" number of people were arrested at the Ridglan Farms facility, which has accused of constant abuse, specifically towards beagles. The facility denies the accusations.

Animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg was just found guilty of felony conspiracy and three misdemeanors for her rescue of four chickens from Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse. These charges carry a potential sentence of nearly 5 years in jail. Meanwhile, Petaluma Poultry faces no consequences for leaving sick animals to die or scalding animals alive. Zoe was represented by Chris Carraway, Staff Attorney at the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project (), and attorney Kevin Little. She will appeal her conviction, including several of the court’s rulings, such as its refusal to allow her to present a necessity defense and severe restrictions on what animal cruelty evidence the jury was allowed to see.
