In the new lawsuit, plaintiffs are specifically targeting two Wisconsin laws governing the state’s public service commission, which regulates utilities. One prohibits the regulator from considering toxic and planet-heating air pollution when permitting new fossil fuel power plants, while another bars it from requiring utilities to increase the amount of electricity they obtain from carbon-free sources.

HOPE!
After years of animal welfare advocates raising concerns about conditions at a Dane County dog breeding facility, county supervisors are now stepping in.

Resolution 119, introduced this month, urges the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to revoke Ridglan Farms’ license and place its animals into protective custody while state investigations continue.

The facility, located in Blue Mounds, breeds beagles and other dogs for medical research. It has long drawn criticism from advocacy groups, and earlier this year, a Dane County judge appointed a special prosecutor to examine allegations of animal cruelty.

As an alumni of University of Wisconsin-Madison I am appalled that they were pulling this illegal silencing of free speech regarding brutalized animals who while able to scream, are not able to speak our language.

University of Wisconsin-Madison has been cited for animal cruelty in some of their labs over the years and in 2020, The university settled an investigation with the U.S. Agriculture Department over alleged violations of the Animal Welfare Act in 2020 by paying a $74,000 fine.

UW-Madison's practice of blocking negative comments about animal research from its social media accounts was unconstitutional, an appeals court ruled. See link below ⬇️ bit.ly/40P8KhL
