Victory — Ridglan is shutting down
Now let’s get 16,000 beagles out of Marshall.
Roughly 2,000 beagles are walking free and Ridglan is shutting down for good — thanks to a coalition of organizations and thousands of people who took action. Marshall BioResources is next. Add your name and help free them.

Federal action · U.S. House of Representatives
Rep. Pocan is taking the
fight to Congress.
The congressman for Wisconsin’s 2nd District — where Ridglan operates — took the case to the U.S. House floor and secured a House Appropriations Committee amendment directing the USDA to review the federal licenses of breeders who lose their state license. The coalition behind Ridglan is bipartisan, broad, and federal. Marshall BioResources is next.
On the bipartisan coalition
“This situation is so nonpartisan that even Lara Trump and Laura Loomer have spoken out against what’s happening at Ridglan Farms. Interesting bedfellows.”
Living in Freedom
This is what we’re fighting for.
Beagles, after rescue. In homes. On couches. In their own backyards. Loved.

born into a cage.
Bred for laboratories. Sold into experiments. Treated like inventory. End the system. Start with dogs.
