On Sunday, March 15th, 100+ rescuers walked into Ridglan Farms, a major vivisection facility outside of Madison, WI, to rescue beagles from criminal abuse. They removed 30 dogs from their cages, risking their own personal freedom to save these animals from a lifetime of suffering.

On April 19th, we’re going back. A target of 2,000 rescuers will descend on Ridglan Farms from all directions and use every nonviolent means to rescue the dogs.

However, to fund this next rescue, we need your help!

For decades, dogs at Ridglan have been confined to metal cages and subjected to painful experiments and procedures. Investigations and whistleblowers have exposed widespread abuse, including surgeries without anesthesia and other serious violations of animal welfare laws. Authorities have acknowledged hundreds of violations, yet ~2,000 dogs remain inside the facility and face a grim future if no one intervenes.

Your donation will help fund:

My team members’ ability to cover costs associated with the rescue (transportation, lodging, and other logistics)

Even without participating in person, your support can help save these innocents from a life of pain, torture, and death and offer them instead a life every dog deserves, full of comfort, love, and safety.
