We are an action based group of individuals and organizations WORKING TOGETHER to create POSITIVE CHANGE FOR Wisconsin’s ANIMALS & ENVIRONMENT.
We educate and provide actions anyone can take to protect the environment and better the lives of animals.
Our friends at Free from Harm disrupting this DNC event.
Thank you for standing for the taxpayers, the animals, our planet’s health! It the only way that these elected members of Congress, their supporters and lobbyists will listen to the reality that animal agriculture (and the trillion dollar subsidies) are devastating our country instead of helping it!

Excellent discussion

By Anita Martin Waterfowl hunting season in Wisconsin will soon be open. When it comes to hunter safety and avian influenza, plus worker safety and avian influenza, it’s time to consider precautions. Within the next three weeks, our state’s hunting seasons open for geese and teal, followed by ....
THIS is how 3000 beagles are kept in a Wisconsin Dog factory farm, Ridglan Farms, near Madison where beagles are bred and sent to be experimented on. Most countries of the world banned testing on dogs long ago and Americans do not support testing on dogs!
It is unacceptable that in this day and age we are breeding beagle dogs for medical research. People across the US and across all political spectrums will work until this abhorrent practice is shut down.
It took insiders and rescuers to bring the horrific conditions within this factory farm to light. We are asking the Ismael Ozanne Dane County District Attorney to investigate documented abuses and deplorable conditions at this factory farm and shut this down.
Please follow Dane4Dogs for actions YOU can take!
The first meeting of the Sandhill Crane Legislative Council Study Committee is planned for Thursday, August 1 at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center, beginning at 10 AM.
The committee’s purpose is focused on addressing the agricultural impact of cranes in our state, with part of the stated scope to “consider whether the Department of Natural Resources should seek federal approval to establish a hunting season for sandhill cranes.” SoWBA is against a crane hunting season, which research has shown to be ineffective in reducing crop depredation.
These meetings are open to the public. SoWBA staff and representatives from bird conservation organizations throughout the state will be in attendance. We encourage those interested to attend. Find more details at: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/misc/lc/study/2024/2702

Cockfighting in Wisconsin? Yes.
🚨 Breaking News: Wisconsin Man Faces Federal Drug Charges 🚨
Bee Her, previously convicted in a cockfighting scheme, is now facing federal drug charges. Her, 45, was on probation when indicted by a grand jury for a major drug trafficking scheme involving over 50 grams of methamphetamine.

The City of Madison Parks have done it again - This summer on June 18th, they paid the USDA with TAX-PAYER MONEY to have 93 innocent wild Canada Geese killed.
The Alliance for Animals reached out to them for the first time this year asking if we could help them keep up the good work (not killing geese in 2022 & 2023) on April 8 - this is around the time they start oiling the eggs. They said someone would be in touch. No one ever was. We contacted them a few more times but it wasn't until after they killed 93 geese this year that they told us how we could volunteer.
Since 2018 the Alliance for Animals has offered countless solutions including; lasers (that don't hurt the geese), habitat restoration, a Tow & Collect machine, coyote cutouts, goose deterrent spray for the grass, etc. We even purchased a strobe light for them to deter the geese at night.
In 2022 & 2023 we thought things were moving in a compassionate direction, but no.
They still insist that they've completed all the correct steps before having them killed and that killing them was necessary. It's absolutely not - and it doesn't work. Once the geese are gone, more geese move into that spot.
Killing these innocent wild animals is unspeakably cruel and lazy and a big money maker for the USDA. There are a myriad of compassionate ways to deter the geese and we (once again) wanted to help. Habitat restoration is the best and most permanent solution.

Please help us raise the money for a billboard (and/or other ways we can get the word out) by donating and spreading the word that we need donations for this. Thank you so much. The innocent geese deserve so much better. https://www.allanimals.org/donate
**VICTORY!**
Thank goodness for the many individuals and groups that peacefully protested against this particularly painful and cruel and wasteful experiment on monkeys at UW-Madison.
After hearing from PETA and supporters like you, a nightmarish sleep experiment on marmosets at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has ended.
Certain ways of managing farm fields can help the soil hold onto nutrients instead of letting them wash away. But the number of farmers who use them is a small share of the total.

Important to speak truth to power! Especially when animal and environmental conditions and effects of large scale agriculture are not considered
Excellent!
✊ We’re suing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect wolves! ✊
Like everyone else, we’ve been reeling in the wake of the wolf incident, where a wolf was brutally run over by a snowmobile, captured and then tormented before being killed. We share in your outrage. This incident has been a stark reminder of why wolves need restored federal protections–because the states of the Northern Rockies continue to allow egregious and unlimited killing practices that embolden individuals to commit heinous acts like these.
That’s why, this week, we’ve joined a coalition of organizations to challenge the recent decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over their refusal to federally protect the western gray wolf.
In 2022, we sued the state of Montana over their unscientific, senseless wolf slaughter. We challenged the state's use of a faulty population model which studies now show could be overestimating wolves by 2.5 times! In this recent decision by the USFWS, they cite and rely on that same population model and its misleading wolf population estimates, threatening wolves' survival in the region. This decision also continues to turn a blind eye to the egregious and indiscriminate killing practices rampant throughout the Northern Rockies.
It’s past time for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be held accountable for their negligence in not relisting Western wolves.
Please support our efforts to Protect America’s Wolves by donating today or monthly. We need community support for these critical legal battles against the government agencies failing to protect wild wolves from unscientific and inhumane persecution. Thank you for strengthening our new legal efforts, as well as our ongoing litigation in . Together, we can create a more humane world for wolves, their families, and all wild carnivores.

**ACTION ALERT**
WI Senator Baldwin think it’s important to spend her time promoting a bill to prohibit the use of the word “milk” for plant-based milk. She is the largest recipient in the Senate of the dairy lobby. Let’s not let this stand!
Please go to the page Pod Save America
scroll down and comment!
And on her page Senator Tammy Baldwin
Feel free to borrow from this comment:
This is the most ridiculous effort by our Senator Tammy Baldwin. We are in a climate crisis in part due to animal agriculture. We must move toward a plant-based food system. Wisconsin could take a progressive lead and prioritize money and resources into plant-based foods and plant-based cheese and cell-based cheese instead of destroying animals and our land. This is an embarrassment to Wisconsin citizens to have our Senator promoting this line!
Let’s help our family farms in WI transition and ban CAFOs and factory farms.

Call-in script:
Senator, with news of bird flu spreading from infected cows to humans, we must act immediately to stop the USDA's disastrous bird flu policy that rewards the chicken and egg industries with bailout money when they experience a bird flu outbreak. This has led the virus to now mutate and endanger many more animals and now humans. Meanwhile Moderna and other pharma companies are manufacturing millions of human vaccines just in case the unthinkable happens: a bird flu pandemic! I urge you to publicly condemn the USDA's bird flu policy but also vow to protect humans and other animals over corporate profits, before it's too late!
Please share!
No cause for alarm. Moderna and other big pharma producing millions of doses of bird flu vaccine tho.
***A RARE WI WIN FOR THE ANIMALS!***
This is very good news for ALL animals in Wisconsin as AB 957, if passed, would have eliminated ANY local protections for animals and set state protections to almost null. And SB 139 (wolf population cap), AB 512 (hound training expansion)
Thank you Governor Tony Evers for standing with the majority of Wisconsinites who do not support mistreatment of animals.
And to the coalition of individuals and groups in both sides of the political spectrum who came together to protect these sentient beings!
Thank you, Gov Evers for vetoing AB957, which would have made local animal laws (like the bans on research puppy mills passed by Richland Center, Spring Green, Stoughton, and others) obsolete!! Rumor is it was because of Paul’s sign 😂

Wisconsin is home to the most mink farms in the US. They are largely UNREGULATED!
Breaking News out of Congress!
Congresswoman Nancy Mace and Representative Rosa DeLauro introduce the MINKS Are Superspreaders Act, which aims to phase out mink farming in the U.S.
Here's why it matters:
* Public Health Risk: Mink farms can spread diseases like COVID-19 and avian influenza to humans. Experts like Jim Keen and Tom Pool emphasize this zoonotic disease risk.
* Inhumane Treatment: Mink farming is cruel to animals. Let's move towards a more humane future.
* Dying Industry: Demand for mink pelts has plummeted, with production dropping below 1 million animals in 2023. The industry is simply unsustainable.
We need your help to get this passed quickly! Here's what you can do:
* Share this post! Get the word out about the MINKS Act.
* Contact your representatives! Let them know you support the bill.

Dane County, WI. At any given time, 3000 beagles sit in this horrific factory farm - all will be sent for Medical experimentation.
The prosecutors knew they wouldn’t win, because people support animal rescue. The Dog Defenders March and other events are still taking place, so follow the event pages.
