UW-Madison investigating student group for promoting Ridglan Farms raid

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is investigating a student group’s alleged involvement in the raid of a Madison-area beagle breeding facility.

The Office of Student Conduct is determining whether Animal Advocacy encouraged other students to participate in criminal activity. The student group protested animal abuse on a flyer and in a social media post about Ridglan Farms, a Blue Mounds beagle breeding facility that has faced years of accusations of mistreating dogs. Ridglan Farms has long denied mistreating the animals in its care.
