Today we talk about a recent series of protests that resulted in the rescue of over 1,500 beagles. But, before we begin today’s episode, I want to give a small reminder that this story may be emotional for many listeners. It is a story that started a lot of conversations, not only in Wisconsin, but across the country.
Today we are talking about animals, protests, and a situation that made many people ask difficult questions. You may have already heard a little bit about it online or in the news… but maybe not the whole story.
