A Wisconsin beagle breeding and research facility 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.
"Not one dog will remain," Lauree Simmons, the group's founder, said in a news conference at a farm in Wisconsin. "No more breeding, no more testing, no more anything."
