A group of animal rights activists, including former Baywatch actress Alexandra Paul, were arrested after entering a dog-breeding site in Wisconsin and removing beagles in what organisers described as a 'rescue'. The incident took place on 15 March 2026 at Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds, a location long targeted by campaigners for its role in supplying animals for research.
The Dane County Sheriff's Office said dozens of protesters unlawfully entered the property, with approximately 20 people taken into custody. Authorities described the event as a break-in involving damage to fencing and buildings, while activists said the action was necessary to prevent further harm to the dogs.
