On April 19, we'll
save them all.
2,000 dogs are trapped inside Ridglan Farms. A judge found felony cruelty. The government refused to act. So we will.
March 15, 2026 — Blue Mounds, Wisconsin
We went in. We got them out.
100+ rescuers converged on Ridglan Farms at dawn and rescued 30 dogs from a facility with 311 documented cruelty violations. Police seized 8 and returned them to the facility. That was just the beginning.
We're mobilizing 2,000 rescuers — one for every dog still trapped inside. The next action will be the largest open rescue in history. And the beagles need you to join us.

The Full Story
For decades, the government covered up the torture of tens of thousands of dogs — and tried to imprison those who blew the whistle. Wayne Hsiung lays out the full story: the conditions inside Ridglan Farms, the USDA inspector who found nothing 25 times, the DA who ignored 983 emails, and the legal strategy that led to the appointment of a special prosecutor.
