94. Behind the Beagle Rescue in Wisconsin with Alexandra Paul

On March 15th, 2026 animal investigators made history by launching a mass open rescue at Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin. Ridglan Farms is one of the two largest facilities in the US where beagles are bred and used for research in labs. Around 20 of the activists were arrested, including Alexandra Paul. In this interview Alexandra takes us behind the scenes, sharing what it was like to be at Ridglan Farms and liberate beagles with an organized team. She also shares more about the legal challenges her group faces and their hopes for future actions against Ridglan Farms. “We sometimes have to make ourselves feel uncomfortable and see the truth of what we humans do — and the consequences — so that we can do the right thing in our own life.” - Alexandra Paul SHOWNOTES
