WMTV NEWS:<\/strong> The last five people arrested in connection to the break-in and removal of dogs from Ridglan Farms were released from the Dane County Jail on Tuesday… Baywatch actress Alexandra Paul was one of the five released Tuesday. Paul said she traveled from Oregon to take part…<\/em><\/p>\n

The Dane County Sheriff\u2019s Office said 50 to 60 protesters illegally entered the private property at the facility, leading to 27 arrests. Activists took more than a dozen dogs from the Blue Mounds facility on Sunday… The suspects are expected to appear in court, but an initial appearance date has not been set.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the people released were greeted by fellow animal activists before exiting the public safety building. Animal activists then marched next door to the Dane County Courthouse, calling on the district attorney to take action against Ridglan Farms, the medical research beagle breeder.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI have just been released from jail,\u201d said Dean Wyrzykowski. \u201cI am still wearing the clothes that I was arrested in at Ridglan Farms.\u201d Aditya Aswani, who was among those released, said the group felt compelled to go beyond a conventional protest.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDoing normal protest is a great first step,\u201d Aswani said. \u201cBut at some point, I think we need to use nonviolent direct action and show people that this is important.\u201d WMTV asked Aswani what he would tell people who say activists stole the animals from the facility.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like theft only applies to objects. I think it\u2019s really unfortunate that some people consider these living beings like no different than, I don\u2019t know, that like metal sign over there,\u201d Aswani said. Aswani said he would do this all over again to protect the dogs.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate, but throughout human history, whether it\u2019s with the Civil Rights Movement, the women\u2019s suffrage movement, the Indian independence movement, the people in power want to keep things the way they are,\u201d he said. \u201cThey won\u2019t change unless we show them that we\u2019re serious”. <\/em>SOURCE<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
