NYC Rally Free The Ridglan Beagles

🚨Raincheck! I'm sorry to announce that the Rally is being postponed tomorrow due to rainfall expected all day. New date is next Sunday, May 31. Same location. Please read why in the discussion portion of the event. Thank you all for understanding. 50,000+ dogs are bred for cruel laboratory experiments in the United States. Activists and rescuers exposed one of these breeders, Ridglan Farms, but more farms remain.Following the historic mobilization at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, NYC is joining the national call to "Free the 2,000." Ridglan Farms has already agreed to surrender its state breeding license by July 1, 2026, to avoid animal cruelty charges—but many dogs are still being bred across the United States for research, including 20,000 at Marshall Farms in New York.We are gathering in NYC to send a clear message to laboratories: We demand an immediate, humane transition plan that places these dogs in shelters and loving homes.Rally for the Ridglan Beagles🚨NEW DATE: Sunday, May 31st Time: 1pm-3pmWhere: 8 Union Sq E, New York, NY 10003-3318, United States### Why We Are RallyingThe Findings: Beagles across the United States, along with other research animals, have been kept in tiny cages, with cruel experiments performed on them. Though Ridglan Farms is winding down operations, more than 20,000 beagles at Marshall Farms remain. Despite warnings from the USDA, Marshall Farms continues to operate, and it's our duty to stop them.The National Movement: While activists are on the front lines in Wisconsin and New York, our job in NYC is to create the political pressure necessary to ensure federal oversight of the facility’s closure.The Petition: We are collecting signatures demanding an end to breeding dogs for animal testing.### What We Will DoPetition Drive: Our primary goal is to double our local signature count. We need outgoing volunteers to engage the public and explain the urgency.Visual Demonstration: We will stand in solidarity with the activists who were tear-gassed and arrested during the Wisconsin "Open Rescue" attempt, ensuring their sacrifice leads to real legislative change for all dogs. Come meet 3 beagles that were rescued from MBR, Envigo, and Ridglan Farms. This rally is a peaceful one. To help please go to: savethedogs.io
