Please help URGENT- Call the Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office and urge them to save the 2,000 dogs suffering at Ridglan Farms: (608) 266-1221 and dial 4
Ridglan Farms, Inc. is a biomedical breeding and research company that has been the subject of documented reports of animal cruelty spanning several decades.
In January, 2025, a Dane County Judge appointed a special prosecutor, DA Tim Gruenke, to investigate and determine whether to charge Ridglan Farms with animal cruelty—the first of two major wins for local advocacy organizations who had advocated for the appointment of a special prosecutor. The second win came in October, 2025 when Gruenke announced Ridglan agreed to voluntarily relinquish its state license to sell dogs by July 1, 2026 in order to avoid criminal prosecution.
Unfortunately, the prosecutor determined that many of the requested remedies such as removing the dogs were “simply not available” under the criminal process. As a result of that determination, the agreement allows the beagles to remain at Ridglan and provides no protections or remedies for the dogs suffering in cruel conditions between now and July 1, 2026. Nor does it provide for any measures to protect any dogs that may remain at Ridglan after July 1st without a state license.
Adorable 3 yr old Muto (Manhattan ACC) is at great risk because he is terrified of the kill shelter & so is reactive to dogs there & resistant to handling by staff.
He needs a loving, patient adult-only home to save him fast!
