A lawsuit seeks legal personhood for beagles at Ridglan Farms, arguing they face cruelty and should be freed under habeas corpus, despite the facility’s plan to close and sell the dogs by July 1, 2026.
A lawsuit filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project and Animal Activist Legal Defense Project seeks legal personhood for beagles at Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin, arguing they face ongoing cruelty and should be protected under habeas corpus.
The case challenges the facility’s status as property, demanding court oversight and potential release of the dogs, despite Ridglan’s agreement to close part of its operation and sell dogs by July 1, 2026, to avoid felony charges.
Courts have previously rejected animal personhood, but advocates say the law must enforce animals’ right to be free from cruelty.
The facility denies wrongdoing, calling the suit disruptive and legally unsound.
