I'm back in court today for a hearing on the Ridglan rescue. The state has not just charged us with 4 felonies but engaged in a series of efforts to undermine our most basic constitutional rights. Today, we are fighting in court to ensure that these rights—including the right to present a defense at all—are preserved.

And I am fine with this. Because the sacrifice is the point. The fact that I and my co-defendants are willing to take on the full power of the state, knowing they would use every underhanded tool in their toolkit (including barring us from First Amendment activity), should give the world confidence that we mean what we say:

We MUST rescue the animals, no matter what it takes.

Even if that means having our constitutional rights threatened. Even if that means being charged with serious crimes. Even if that means being imprisoned.

This is a fight worth having because this dog deserved to be safe.

I'll see you in court today.

In two weeks, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine will have lasted as long as the entire World War I.

Greg is a 74-year-old terminal cancer patient who was assaulted by police on April 18 because he wanted to save a Ridlgan dog.

I just got off the phone with Greg, and his story is equal parts infuriating and inspiring. He is a grandpa, a dog-lover, and suffering from bladder and bone cancer. He may have only months to live. But when Greg arrived at Ridglan Farms on April 18, his compassion wasn't supported by the authorities. Instead, Dane County police shot bullets at and tear gassed him, as he gasped and struggled to breathe.

This elderly cancer patient was considered a greater threat than the corporation that was criminally abusing defenseless pups.

Greg's story shows that something has gone deeply wrong in our systems. Not only do our "leaders" refuse to protect the vulnerable. They target those like Greg who risk so much to help.

But Greg's story also shows the solution. Greg is struggling with cancer. But when he saw that the government acting with cruelty and lawlessness, he took direct action. And his courage inspired change. Now many of the most influential political figures in America have turned against Ridglan and its vile industry.

We have people like Greg to thank for that.

This is just the beginning. We'll need more brave people, more stories like Greg's, to end the abomination of animal abuse from our civilization. But Greg is setting the standard. Let's follow in footsteps like these and make a world where every animal is safe, happy, and free.

This is how Ukrainians welcome their defenders home after Russian captivity.

No one here is paid. These are ordinary people who came out in the cold, heat and just to wave a flag, cheer, and say “welcome home” to those who defended their country.

After animal activists broke into Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin back in March to rescue several beagles being used for scientific testing — and months of protests — the facility recently agreed to sell 1,500 of their 2,000 dogs to organizations, like Big Dog Ranch Rescue. Now, dozens of the animals are being taken to properties like this one in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin to get checked out by veterinarians before being transferred to rescue shelters and centers that will help them find their forever homes.
