A group trying to open a primate cruelty exhibit near UW-Madison’s primate research labs filed a lawsuit this week demanding that it be allowed to buy property that it says was promised.
But Roger Charly, owner of Budget Bicycles, also promised to sell the property to UW-Madison, which has taken action to accept an option on the land, according to the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, filed in Dane County Circuit Court on Tuesday, former California middle school teacher Rick Bogle of the Primate Freedom Project and retired Los Angeles physician Richard McLellan said they signed a 180-day option to purchase the property at 26 N. Charter St. in May for $675,000 after a series of discussions with Charly.
