Wisconsin beagle farm closing, hundreds of dogs to be sent to Florida rescue group

A Wisconsin beagle breeding farm is closing permanently after a Florida rescue group purchased nearly 1,500 dogs. The facility was the site of violent animal welfare protests, during which police utilized tear gas and pepper spray to repel activists. Consequently, the remaining dogs are being transferred to the Florida rescue group. This closure follows significant pressure from animal welfare advocates who protested the breeding farm's operations before the rescue group intervened to take the dogs.
