YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHundreds of beagles could soon have new homes after a pair of animal rescue groups bought 1,500 dogs from a Wisconsin breeding and research facility.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy announced that they bought 1,500 of 2,000 beagles from the facility, Ridglan Farms, for an undisclosed price.
Around 1,000 animal rights activists clashed with police at Ridglan Farms last month as they sought to seize and rescue the beagles. None of the activists were ultimately able to enter the facility at the time.
The dogs will now receive medical exams, microchips and vaccinations before being relocated for adoption. It is unclear what will happen to the 500 dogs remaining in the Ridglan Farms facility.
Ridglan Farms has denied any mistreatment of the animals but will be surrendering its license this summer, part of a deal to avoid felony animal mistreatment charges after a court found it was violating state veterinary standards.
