The dog torture facility known as Ridglan Farms is shutting down.
Congratulations to everyone who made this happen — especially
@waynehhsiung, whose vision drove this campaign from the start.
I'll admit I started skeptical. I didn't think a group of grassroots activists could shut down the nation's second-largest supplier of dogs for animal testing.
They proved me wrong. Their courage and persistence generated a flood of media and political pressure — from
@ggreenwald to
@LaraLeaTrump — that made Ridglan impossible to defend.
The next challenge: converting this popular uprising over dog abuse into one about the abuse of all animals — in cruel tests and on factory farms.
