Final Beagles Rescued from Ridglan Farms | Atlanta News

The final 155 beagles from Ridglan Farms—once bred for research—are now safely relocated to a Florida rescue, closing a chapter on the relocation of over 2,000 dogs this year. Wisconsin state investigators uncovered nearly 500 violations, raising serious concerns about animal welfare and leading to probable cause for cruelty charges. Ridglan settled to avoid trial, surrendering its dog-selling license while claiming compliance with laws. Meanwhile, USDA records show only minor past violations, creating a stark contrast that lawmakers are struggling to explain. Rescue groups hailed the successful outcome, but the case underscores the ongoing tension between scientific research and animal rights.
