Some of the beautiful dogs im missing from Canacona! I so love my time in the winter helping at ARC I really miss it so much when I’m back here. I kind of grieve for my time there in a way!
It leaves me always wanting to return and gives a life’s purpose 🙏🐕!

If you can travel in the monsoon it’s a wonderful time to visit and the Arc needs volunteers even more through the rainy season as tourism dies off.
I recommend helping for any animal lovers….🥰

Following the intense events of April 18, 2026, at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, Academy Award winner Joaquin Phoenix has once again signaled his support for the Right to Rescue.
As reported by USA Today, hundreds of activists faced riot control measures including tear gas and pepper spray to reach thousands of beagles bred for laboratory testing. While police arrested over 20 rescuers, including leader Wayne Hsiung, the message remains clear: the law should protect the vulnerable, not the profitable.
These beagles spend their lives in cages, never feeling grass or sun, used as biological equipment. Joaquin reminds us: "COMPASSION IS NOT A CRIME. WHEN INDIVIDUALS STEP IN TO SAVE A LIFE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAS LOOKED THE OTHER WAY, THEY SHOULD BE SUPPORTED—NOT PROSECUTED."
STAY INFORMED:
📍 Location: Ridglan Farms, Blue Mounds, WI.
⚖️ The Stakes: Over 2,000 beagles remain inside despite a court ordered closure set for July 2026.
🛡️ The Defense: Activists argue they are acting out of necessity to save lives

Bless these darling beagles I pray they get released 💔💔💔

Hundreds of people showed up.

Not quietly. Not unnoticed.

Right outside a beagle breeding facility in Wisconsin… where thousands of dogs are still being kept.

Ridglan Farms has been at the center of growing controversy for months. After an earlier break-in where activists removed 23 dogs, a second attempt took place on April 18.

This time… things unfolded differently.

Authorities say up to 400 activists tried to enter the facility, while organizers claim even more were present. What followed was tense and chaotic—fences were climbed, tear gas was used, and multiple arrests were made.

No dogs were taken.

But the story didn’t stop there.

Because beyond the confrontation… something bigger is taking shape.

Activists say around 2,000 beagles remain inside the facility. Bred for laboratory testing. Living in controlled conditions most people will never witness.

Now, a new effort is emerging.

A group supporting the rescue says anonymous donors have pledged $1 million in hopes of securing the release of every dog inside.

At the same time, legal pressure is increasing, with organizers working to file lawsuits and push for intervention.

The facility denies any wrongdoing, stating it operates under federal licenses and regulations. Authorities are now reviewing charges related to both incidents.

Two sides. Two very different perspectives on the same place.

But one thing remains unchanged.

Those dogs are still there.

Waiting.

And whether this ends through protest, legal action, or negotiation… it’s clear something is approaching a breaking point.

Because when this many people show up for animals they’ve never met… it means the world is beginning to pay attention.

Ricky Gervais has publicly backed a campaign calling for the release of around 2,000 beagles from a research facility, drawing renewed attention to the wider issue of animal testing in laboratories.

According to the campaign, these dogs are bred specifically for pharmaceutical research and spend their lives in controlled conditions, with little to no exposure to home environments, outdoor areas, or regular human interaction. Beagles are often used in labs because of their size, gentle nature, and cooperative behavior.

Advocates involved in similar efforts point out that greater transparency and adoption initiatives have already helped rehome laboratory dogs in multiple cases—especially in the United States, where former research animals have successfully transitioned into foster and permanent homes.

Supporters also note that when public figures highlight these issues, it can raise awareness and spark important conversations about animal welfare standards, ethical research practices, and alternatives to animal testing.

The issue remains widely debated, with animal welfare organizations, scientists, and pharmaceutical groups continuing to discuss how best to balance scientific progress with the humane treatment of animals.
