Save 4000 Dogs: Shut Down Ridglan Farms

Ask Dane County Executive Joe Parisi to listen to the public and ban dog experimentation, saving thousands of dogs from torture.

Why is this important?

Ridglan Farms is one of three top breeders in the United States which provide beagles for research facilities and they conduct their own research on-site as well. DxE investigators entered several Ridglan
barns at night to document the housing for the hundreds of dogs
living there and found animals in psychological torment, turning around and around endlessly in tiny wire cages. Ridglan's dogs are exposed to brutal torture, including being force-fed laundry detergent until they vomit blood and die. But now, we have the chance to save the thousands of dogs at Ridglan Farms by shutting down the facility and banning dog experimentation. Activists in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin got a dog experimentation ban onto the ballot for November, but we want to take this ban even farther. The public doesn't suppor animal cruelty, and that's why we're asking Dane County Executive Joe Parisi to listen to the public's concerns and to take the dog experimentation ban to the county-wide level. From there, this could be a domino that sets off an international ban on dog experimentation -- and we need your help to make it happen! Sign and share the petition today.
