DESCRIPTION:UCSF member Dean Wyrzykowski is facing prison for rescuing dogs at Ridglan 
 Farms, which\nhas bred over 2,000 beagles annually for biomedical research, 
 confining them their entire lives\nin wire cages. Undercover investigations 
 and whistleblower reports exposed cruel and illegal\nprocedures at the 
 Wisconsin facility, including surgical mutilation without anesthesia. A 
 judge\nfound probable cause that Ridglan Farms had committed felony animal 
 cruelty. Ridglan agreed\nto surrender its breeding license, but thousands 
 of dogs remained at risk of being euthanized or\nsent to other 
 laboratories. In March, activists nonviolently entered the facility to 
 rescue them and\nwere met with riot police, tear gas, and rubber bullets. 
 Many were arrested and four have been\ncharged with felonies, including 
 Dean and Wayne Hsiung, the co-founders of The Simple Heart,\nan animal 
 rights nonprofit that promotes the movement for species equality\n\nJoin 
 Dean Wyrzykowski for a discussion of the rescue efforts, the trial on 
 September 28, and\n
