Animal welfare activists converged outside of Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ Capitol office on Monday, chanting “Free the dogs!” and demanding that the governor and attorney general do what they can to shut down a beagle breeding and research facility where many of the protesters clashed with police two days earlier. An estimated 1,000 activists from around the country came to Ridglan Farms in an attempt Saturday to free an estimated 2,000 beagles kept there. Police repelled them with tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper spray. Many of those who were at the facility returned to the Capitol on Monday to demand that Evers take action. Ridglan has denied mistreating animals.
