Animal rights activists appeal dismissal of lawsuit protecting remaining Ridglan beagles

Monday evening attorneys from the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) and the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project (AALDP) appealed the dismissal of a lawsuit seeking to protect the remaining dogs at Ridglan Farms. They also moved for an injunction prohibiting Ridglan from killing dogs for medically unnecessary reasons pending resolution of the appeal, after Ridglan did not respond to a request for confirmation it would not do so. Last month, Ridglan agreed to sell approximately 1,500 dogs to rescue organizations, but that deal did not include all of the dogs at the facility. Approximately 500 remain.
