LIVE FROM Wisconsin — A massive surge of animal activists has reportedly descended upon Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, the nation’s second-largest beagle breeding and research facility. UnchainedTV has a reporter LIVE at the scene to bring us the very latest as this high-stakes nonviolent mobilization unfolds.

A large group of animal advocates have gathered at the facility following a historic legal settlement that requires Ridglan to surrender its breeding license by July 1, 2026. However, protestors argue that the "stipulation" leaves thousands of dogs in immediate peril to be experimented on at the facility.
The mobilization follows shocking revelations from an evidentiary hearing. In open court, whistleblowers testified to witnessing harrowing scenes where dogs were reportedly operated on without anesthesia by non-veterinarians, including "cherry-eye" surgeries, where dogs were allegedly conscious and thrashing around in pain while being restrained.

Led by famed attorney and animal rights activist Wayne Hsiung and a coalition including The Simple Heart and Alliance for Animals, the crowd is currently initiating a direct appeal to the government. Holding white flowers to symbolize their commitment to nonviolence, the group is calling on authorities to facilitate an immediate rescue of all the dogs inside the facility and for those animals to be put up for adoption with the help of animal rescue groups willing to help.
The atmosphere is tense but disciplined. Organizers tell us:
"We have found that the authorities will not respond to anything other than public pressure. That, in turn, depends on a well-organized and well-attended demonstration."

While a special prosecutor investigated the allegations of felony animal abuse, protesters today say the agreement still leaves beagles at risk of painful experimentation and death. If authorities refuse to intervene, some participants have expressed a readiness to provide direct aid to the animals themselves. We will remain on-site as this developing situation unfolds.

Now, UnchainedTV host Jane Velez-Mitchell and former law enforcement investigator Tiffany Brunelli analyze the action on the ground in Wisconsin as it unfolds.

We invite company representatives on to comment.
