A decision regarding the thousands of dogs being tortured at Ridglan Farms is reportedly imminent. And I am gravely concerned authorities are planning to ignore the overwhelming evidence of abuse. In conversations I've had with state officials, they have claimed forms of

Julie’s entire world was this 2 x 4 metal cage. It drove her to insanity. We got her out. But thousands of dogs have been left in a similar state over the last 8 years at Ridglan Farms, despite government acknowledgment that this intensive confinement is illegal and wrong.

In 1995, 2005, and 2010, the government's own internal watchdog described penalties for corporations who abuse animals as "basically meaningless." First, fines -- the primary mechanism for punishing corporations under the federal Animal Welfare Act --- are discounted at absurd

In 2018, the pharma giant Merck commissioned Ridglan to inject dozens of beagles with rabies. They expected the dogs to suffer from "anorexia," "ataxia," (ie loss of motor control) and "uncharacteristic aggressiveness." The "study" would watch as the dogs suffered and

One year ago, I went into court and told the story of Julie, the blind beagle puppy we found at Ridglan Farms. This is footage from the morning after we rescued her. Julie was so broken that she struggled to walk, climb stairs, or even stand. There are moments where I am so

This is Julie, shortly after being rescued from Ridglan Farms, trying to climb stairs after a lifetime in a 2 x 4 cage. This shows the damage inflicted on the Ridglan dogs. Many of them struggle to engage in basic tasks because of the psychosis caused by confinement. But this

Court starts for the day with discussions outside the presence of the jury. Picklesimer takes the stand alongside their lawyer, EmilyRose Johns. Johns points out the immunity issues that arise from the prosecution forcing Picklesimer to testify for them. She explains that the

Barbaric. End this now!

After 60 years of torturing dogs, Ridglan Farms' breeding operation is shutting down. But the work is not yet done. We need to ensure every last dog from Ridglan is placed in a loving home. And the research arm must close, too. Still, monumental progress. And y'all did it.

WE HAVE A VERDICT! We are headed to the courtroom.

These poor rhesus monkeys were being shipped to a vivisector's lab when their truck had a horrible accident. You can see that the survivors are discombobulated and scared. But the only help they got was to be shot and killed by emergency response. What a cruel, sick world.

A state senator in Wisconsin just posted on Facebook that she is "concerned about the fate of the 2300 [actually, 2500_+] beagles" who remain at Ridlgan Farms and will be exploring ways to get them out. The attention is working. Give Jodi Habush Sinykin lots of love.

The bar tab of a 1787 farewell party for George Washington is still intact. The Founding Fathers drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 22 bottles of porter, 8 bottles of hard cider, 12 of beer, and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch. There were only 55
