Second Ridglan Farms raid erupts in chaos as protesters clash with authorities

A second, large-scale raid attempt on Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin turned chaotic as hundreds to about 1,500 protesters clashed with police, with a pickup allegedly ramming the gate and tear gas deployed; several activists were arrested, and no dogs were removed at the time. Organizers touted ongoing efforts to secure or relocate dogs amid a broader legal settlement that requires Ridglan to surrender its breeding license by July 1, 2026, while officials warned the incident was not a peaceful protest and continued preparations for planned demonstrations.
