An empty bus pulled into Ridgland Farms in Wisconsin last week and emerged with more than 150 rescued beagles – who had never felt grass or fresh air in their lives. More than 2,000 beagles had been already rescued from the farm, a controversial biomedical research and breeding facility.
CBS News' @adamyamaguchi got to be there as the remaining dogs – many of them puppies – had their first taste of freedom. Many of the dogs were paralyzed with fear as they finally exited the cages they had been trapped in and entered the unknown world of caring human beings and safety.
After protesters tried to break into the facility to rescue the dogs earlier this year, the facility decided to shut down its breeding operations. The remaining beagles were taken to Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Florida, where they will be put up for adoption.
Indonesia is destroying 2,000,000 hectares of one of the world’s most important & biodiverse rainforests in South Papua for sugarcane. 😡
The world’s BIGGEST deforestation project. 🤬
Everyone should be SO angry about this. It is OUR planet and we are losing wildlife forever!
At a family dinner, my uncle said women were "too weak" for physically demanding jobs. My grandma looked at him and said, "I gave birth without anesthesia. You called an ambulance because of kidney stones." The table went completely silent.
2,115 beagles saved.
The last dogs are out.
A 60-year pipeline of dogs into research has ended.
Ridglan Farms is closing forever.
To everyone who fought for them, for all these years:
We did it. ❤️🐶 https://t.co/HINOq8Vc7c
Joey is a freaking HERO & deserves to be rewarded for every single animal he has saved on Skid Row. He puts himself in danger situations because @MayorOfLA has lost control of LA & is allowing unspeakable horror to continue unchallenged.
Thank you FBI.
A ver... Tu hijo se mete a una casa sin permiso y el perro de esa casa que estaba amarrado lo ataca y le quita la vida. ¿Cómo vas a culpar a los dueños del perro?
Eso es 100% tu culpa... Los dueños no tienen responsabilidad alguna.
South Korea is fully banning dog meat by February 2027, with over 82% of farms already shut down
The government is paying farmers up to $452 per dog to surrender their animals
Los perros estaban dentro de un terreno, al fondo y atados (un desastre, pero tema aparte). A la familia se le escapa una criatura de TRESSSSS AÑOOOOOS, se mete donde los pitbulls, lo atacan y la madre va a reclamarle a los dueños. Dios mío.
NO, no tengan miedo, el Aguará guazú está en peligro de extinción, es inofensivo para los humanos e incluso para otros animales. Si te lo cruzás es un regalo.
Hay que tenerle miedo a la ignorancia.
no quiero sonar como una hija de puta pero si vos dejas a tu hijo de 3 años solo en calle, no tenes idea donde está y se mete a un patio donde hay un perro atado en pésimas condiciones, donde es su territorio yyy la culpa es tuya, no del perro
If I could be granted one wish that would change the world for the better…
Find a dog to adopt.
That’s it. Simple as that. There are millions out there waiting ❤️
Each female may produce a litter of around 10 puppies & will be used to whelp as many #litters as possible throughout her life
They may suffer infection or other serious complications during or after the birth, often with little or #no vet treatment
