The great work of the 4 is all over the timeline. If you see a beagle, chances are it's one of over 1500 that has been saved from Ridglan Farms by the 4!

We introduced the PAAW Act to prohibit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from conducting or funding research causing significant pain or distress to dogs and cats. These experiments, often hidden from public view and conducted with little oversight, include: ❌ Injecting dogs with cocaine and methamphetamine ❌ Intentionally infesting puppies with ticks and biting flies ❌ Inducing heart failure in dogs and cats ❌ Forcing beagles to swallow experimental drugs ❌ Intentionally breeding sick and deformed dogs and cats for abuse in inhumane and deadly testing ❌ Exposing animals to noxious stimuli which they cannot avoid/escape ❌ Forcing animals into long-term physical restraints, sometimes lasting weeks, with no escape This isn’t just animal cruelty, it’s bureaucratic cruelty, paid for by the American taxpayers. If the NIH won’t do the right thing on its own, we will make them.

Just got off a productive call with the USDA where I learned Ridglan Farms has been told to surrender their federal breeding license by July 1 or the USDA would take official action. They also gave us an official answer on how many dogs are left at Ridglan: 650. Even though Ridglan is losing their state (and potentially federal) licenses, it doesn't stop the on-site research they're conducting. I'll continue to work with the USDA and NIH to shut down the entire facility and find homes for the 650 remaining dogs!

James begs to be picked up then literally CRIES in happiness when I do it! 😂 This is the life every lab beagle deserves. And we are going to give it to them.

In about one hour, I will be arraigned on 4 felony counts and face up to 30 years in prison for taking this little guy out of a Ridglan cage. In addition to charging me, the government has banned me from contacting my co-defendants and is now trying to undermine my right to a speedy trial. But every corrupt and unconstitutional act by the government will simply make our case even stronger. We press forward to defend the right to rescue—and to defend the tens of thousands of other dogs (and billions of other animals) who remain trapped in cruel cages. Most importantly, we defend James. Every time I come home, he jumps in my lap and begs to be picked up. It was the first place he ever felt safe. Rescuing him was not a crime. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I relish the opportunity to defend rescuing James in court.

“Ridglan was just the beginning.” Indeed.

My bail was set at $10,000 because a court said I’m “dangerous” for saving dogs. The real danger is not saving dogs. It’s abusing them in the first place. The district attorney doesn’t understand this. But a jury will. And when they do, we’ll save them all.

My Ridglan foster beagle finally came out of her crate & greeted my other beagles, but it’s going to take her awhile to warm up.

There is nothing James wanted more than to be loved. He looks up at me like this all day, begging to be picked up or hugged. And love was one of many basic needs James was NEVER given at Ridglan Farms. Instead he sat in a cage awaiting a cruel vivisector’s blade. That changes now. That changes this election cycle. It’s time for every powerful CEO and politician to take a side: Are you with the puppy abusers? Or the rescuers?

BREAKING: The first 300 Ridglan beagles touched grass for the first time today. They stepped outside and looked up at the sun. Many are playful. Some are scared. All are learning the world can be safe. Today, they are free.
