DxE investigator and animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg had her preliminary hearing today. The defense attorneys successfully argued that there was no evidence presented of a conspiracy to commit vandalism or any involvement in any vandalism, and the prosecutors had to agree. They dropped the felony conspiracy to commit vandalism charge, reducing the total number of felonies from four down to three. The judge said she will take some time to consider all the evidence presented and scheduled a hearing for May 13, where she will give her ruling as to whether there is probable cause to pursue the remaining charges.

BREAKING: Ten days before trial, all charges have been DROPPED against Eva Hamer, Paul Darwin Picklesimer, and Wayne Hsiung who saved three beagles from Ridglan Farms, a factory farm that breeds dogs for experimentation. This case has been pending for years and we believe this dismissal is the result of pressure and press coverage that made it clear there is public support for animal rescue. Unfortunately, the Dane County District Attorney’s office is still failing to prosecute Ridglan Farms for criminal animal cruelty. It is more important now than ever that we keep the pressure on to get justice for these animals. Please help us share the news on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
