Rescue organization announces agreement to close beagle testing facility

MADISON (AP) -- A Wisconsin beagle breeding farm that's been the site of recent violent protests is closing, and its remaining dogs are being taken in by a Florida rescue group.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue announced Monday that it has reached an agreement for the permanent closure of Ridglan Farms and the transfer of its 475 remaining beagles starting this week.

The rescue group said some of the beagles will go to other rescue groups while others will be sent to its Florida and Alabama campuses where they will be spayed, neutered, and prepared for adoption.

The group bought roughly 1,500 of the farm's more than 2,000 beagles in April for an undisclosed price.

The transfer of the remaining beagles is expected to last until August, when there will be no more dogs at the farms, according to Big Dog Ranch Rescue.

The organization called on protesters to refrain from further demonstrations as it says Ridglan Farms has committed to permanently closing its dog breeding, sales, research and testing operations.
