In this PJ Media article, Sarah Anderson reports that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the rescue of the remaining 475 beagles from Ridglan Farms and the launch of a new NIH office to accelerate the shift away from animal testing.
- The remaining beagles at the Wisconsin research facility will be transferred to a no-kill shelter for adoption preparation after about 1,500 were freed last month.
- Lara Trump was thanked for her involvement in the process, which included pressuring Ridglan Farms to relinquish its breeding license by July 2026 or face USDA termination proceedings.
- Ridglan Farms, the second-largest U.S. dog breeding facility for research, has faced long-standing accusations of inhumane conditions including lack of exercise, socialization, outdoor access, and painful procedures without proper veterinary care.
- The Trump administration is establishing the Office of Research Innovation, Validation, and Application (ORIVA) at NIH to validate and scale modern human-based methods like 3D tissue models and computational tools that are more accurate than animal testing.
- ORIVA will support innovation, funding, training, and multi-agency coordination to reduce or replace animal use where appropriate, addressing limitations in translating animal data to human biology.
- This move builds on prior rescues and a court settlement after probable cause findings of animal cruelty violations at the facility.
- The announcement represents a major win for animal welfare, highlighting the barbaric and outdated nature of much animal testing while promoting better science.
- Rescued beagles have shown heartbreaking signs of institutionalization, such as not knowing how to run or drink from bowls, underscoring the urgency of the intervention.
