Wisconsin beagle research facility that drew protests is closing as Florida rescue group takes in dogs

A Wisconsin beagle research facility, Ridglan Farms, is closing after years of protests, with its remaining 475 beagles being transferred to Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Florida. The closure follows violent demonstrations, including police use of tear gas and pepper spray during protests, and the rescue group aims to prepare the dogs for adoption. The facility had faced legal challenges and agreed to relinquish its breeding license.
