For decades, the vivisection industry and government covered up the torture of puppies like Julie, a blind beagle at Ridglan Farms. For one year, she lived alone in a 2’ x 4’ metal cage, where the wire flooring dug into her paws. Then, on April 17, 2017, she was saved.

I tell the story of Julie’s rescue with Jeremy this week. And in the next few weeks, we go to court in an effort to save them all.
