Growing anger towards animal testing is uniting people on the left & right of politics across the political spectrum 🔥 OP-ED: After years of court hearings, investigations, open rescues, and protests, the notorious beagle breeding and research facility Ridglan Farms has finally agreed to release 1,500 dogs to rescue organizations. This is certainly a win for animals, but the era of animal testing is far from over, particularly because the federal government enables it.

A nonprofit that helps abused dogs announces they are filing lawsuits against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, LA Animal Services, the City of Los Angeles and the LAPD They have submitted consistent evidence of “horrific” dog abuse on Skid Row She says Democrats “They do not care” “I've spoken in front of city council, I've offered solutions, tried to help the very, very best I can. Yeah. And they don't care. They have not responded to any solution that I've offered — I got horrific videos of dogs in cages on Skid Row, and it has been my mission for the last three years to try to get dogs who are being abused on Skid Row removed. And they will not remove them. They will not enforce the law. Every single one of those people and every single one of those agencies refuses to remove the dogs” California has both animal cruelty and neglect statutes the people on skid row are breaking not because the homeless are a protected class, no punishments ever gone to them Democrats “Do not care” about this animal cruelty

old dogs will work themselves to their bones to show you affection and it hurts how much they love you

Animal shelter security footage captured a scared dog with a large St Bernard. I had a St Bernard and this is exactly how loving they are❣️ I’d adopt them both!

Este refugio para perros organizó una fiesta de pijamas en la que los voluntarios pudieron dormir con un perro en adopción. Este es el tipo de lugar al que dedicaría mi tiempo y mi dinero♥️

Lara Trump wants EVERY Ridglan dog out of their tortuous cages and into a happy home.

BREAKING: This billboard just went up outside the Fauci-funded lab doing “maximum pain” experiments on beagle puppies. Those beagles came from the notorious Ridglan Farms puppy mill. And RFK Jr.’s NIH approved $1.2 million more for this insane experiment even after we flagged it for them. The truth of what happens in this lab will shock you: First, this University of Missouri lab buys hundreds of beagle puppies from Ridglan. Then, mad scientists shave off their fur, glue capsules full of mutant ticks to their skin, and allow the ticks to bite and infect the puppies with deadly diseases. In many cases, the suffering puppies are intentionally denied any pain relief at this NIH-funded lab. And you will not believe how RFK Jr.’s senior officials responded to our investigations exposing this experiment: They tried to silence, censor, and blacklist us. Instead of shutting down the lab, they pressured our board members to shut down our criticism of NIH funding for the lab, in apparent violation of federal ethics rules. They scrubbed our name from their website and tried to get us booted from events. We will not be silenced, and we will not stop fighting to save these puppies’ lives and to save your tax dollars from funding this insanity. Follow @WhiteCoatWaste

RIDGLAN FARMS—A breakdown of the problem, and what YOU can do to make a difference. There are three parts to this atrocity — and most people are only focused on the first one. 1. Breeder: Ridglan 2. Regulator: USDA 3. Buyers: Labs / Universities 1. Ridglan — the breeder Ridglan is forced to stop selling dogs in July, but that does NOT mean they are forced to fully shutdown, and it does NOT mean the dogs are automatically safe. Where are the ~2,000 dogs going? Who is taking them? Is there a written, documented plan? Are dogs still being sold before July? 🔴If you want to do something, contact: Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and the Wisconsin Attorney General’s office. Ask for the plan in writing. Ask what enforcement looks like if the terms aren’t followed. 2. USDA — the federal regulator Ridglan still has a FEDERAL license through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). That’s why this doesn't end in July. USDA APHIS Animal Care — handles inspections and enforcement under the Animal Welfare Act. (see thread for details) 🔴Here’s what to actually do: Go to the USDA Animal Care Public Search Tool and pull every inspection report, annual report, and enforcement record for Ridglan. If anything is missing, file a FOIA request with APHIS and ask for: – inspection reports – photos and videos – compliance letters – complaint records – enforcement actions – and any written plan for where these dogs are going Ask USDA directly: What would trigger restriction or revocation of this facility’s license? What happens after July? That is what determines whether this abuse actually stops or just shifts. 3. The BUYERS — labs, universities, pharma This is the part almost no one is talking about enough. 📢WHO IS BUYING THESE DOGS AND TESTING ON THEM? Ridglan exists because someone is BUYING. ➡️This is supply and demand.⬅️ If buyers stop buying, then breeders like Ridglan cease to exist. I found records compiled by Rise for Animals and The Marty Project and cross-checked parts of the data against NIH grants, institutional disclosures, and USDA inspection reports. See the attached list. Almost 1/3 of the list are major universities —the same places we send our kids, donate to, and support publicly. So if people want to direct their energy somewhere that actually matters, start asking those institutions: Do you use dogs in research? Do you source from Ridglan or breeders like them? Which grants are funding this work? What is your plan to stop? Contact: – Office of Research – IACUC (animal care & use committee) – compliance/ethics offices – and leadership 1⃣Ridglan is one part of the problem. 2⃣USDA is one part of the problem. 3⃣The buyers are one part of the problem. Most people are only yelling at the first one. If we actually want this to change, we have to go after all three — not just the one that’s getting the most attention online.

UPDATE: Animal rights activists are now outside the Dane County Courthouse demanding the dogs at Ridglan Farms be released. Some are holding up signs that say, “Save the Beagles.” Others say, “Seize the Ridglan Dogs Now.” wtmj.com/news/crime/202…

Wayne is in jail now. He has already been housed. He has just made the following statement: “Only a deeply corrupt system will use tear gas and rubber bullets against peaceful activists saving dogs. We are seeing the worst in humanity today. But, in the courage of the rescuers, also the best.” #SaveTheDogs #RightToRescue

Animals are literally angels on earth, they’re Gods best creations.. stop harming them

This pup shudders uncontrollably when an unknown person approaches. The Ridglan beagles are recovering, but many still suffer from severe trauma. This is not normal behavior. This is a victim of abuse. And the authorities sent 8 of these pups back to their abusers.

Aw look at the little Beagle pups. So happy and excited Repost if you love a good happy ending 🇺🇸 Stop animal testing. God bless the people who step up.

🚨 JUST IN: Trump FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMS he has CANCELED all the Dr. Fauci cruel beagle experiments They tortured beagles in "inhumane and unjustifiable" experiments Fauci is evil. NO MORE dog abuse!

"There is a dog inside this building who was marked for death on the day of her birth. She will never go outside, play with toys, or get hugs from her family. She will never even have a name, just a serial code burned into her ear. She will never know the love that every pup deserves. I’m leaving these symbols at Ridglan Farms in the hope that we can work together to rescue that dog. She’s hurt. And she needs our help." The rescuers on March 15 left these stuffed animals and flowers at the doorstep of Ridglan Farms. They represented our promise: We are coming back to rescue you all.

They cut her vocal cords because she was making too much noise. And forced her to give up her babies for experiments. When she's old & broken, they'll sell her off for science, too. But she's still crying for help. That's why we're going back. For this mama. For them all.

A viral dog can receive hundreds of adoption applications. But only one home is needed. Imagine if the other applicants kept looking. Shelters wouldn’t be full. Wouldn't that be amazing
