Fifty-One Activists Arrested in Animal Rescue | Madison News

Fifty-one animal rights activists face criminal charges after staging “open rescues” at a dog breeder and research facility in Blue Mounds, claiming neglect and calling their actions necessary to save lives. The facility’s owner, Mary, says she’s been targeted before and expects more charges. Activists, held on $5,000 bonds and some for over 24 hours, argue the facility’s history of neglect justified their intervention. Officials note activists have long targeted such facilities, documenting alleged mistreatment to spur public outcry — while the Racine facility remains under investigation, and the legal battle rages on.
