A bipartisan bill introduced at the State Capitol hopes to save research dogs from euthanasia. The ‘Wisconsin Beagle Freedom Bill’ would mandate a three-week adoption period for dogs and cats in testing facilities. The bill would prevent default euthanasia by offering the animals to shelters or rescues. Wisconsin is home to Ridglan farmers, one of two large breeders of dogs for experimentation in the country. A judge found probable cause of animal cruelty at the facility in January, leading to a special prosecutor’s appointment. Ridglan faces multiple investigations and compliance processes.
