A mass protest at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin drew about 1,000 animal rights advocates, resulting in approximately 25 arrests. Demonstrators attempted to breach security measures to rescue dogs from the facility, which houses roughly 2,000 beagles, but were met with pepper spray, rubber bullets, and physical barricades. Despite the violence reported earlier, the subsequent day saw a more peaceful gathering of around 200 protesters, who later dispersed after about two hours.

The protests are part of ongoing efforts to confront allegations of animal mistreatment at Ridglan Farms, which has denied cruelty accusations but agreed to surrender its breeding license to avoid criminal charges. Protest leader Wayne Hsiung was among those arrested, facing a tentative felony charge, while most others were released after booking. The protests continue to highlight concerns over animal welfare practices at the facility, with activists emphasizing their right to rescue animals from alleged abuse.
