Wisconsin cops were forced to use rubber bullets and teargas to fend off a horde of 1,000 animal rights activists who stormed a local beagle research facility to try to free the dogs, authorities said. The wild Saturday morning storming of Ridglan Farms in Blue Mounds saw activists scale fences and barriers and block local roads, and landed the animal advocacy group’s leader in handcuffs, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. 4 Police said more than 1,000 animal rights activists tried to storm a Wisconsin research lab Saturday.
