Alexandra Paul Arrested in Beagle Farm Protest

0:00It's March 17th. Here's your Birmingham news in two minutes. Actors Alexandra Paul, famous for playing Lieutenant Stephanie Holden on Baywatch, got arrested in Wisconsin on Sunday, along with about 19. Other activists. The 62-year-old was part of a group of 50 to 60 people who allegedly broke into Rigland Farms, a Beagle breeding facility in Blue Mounds, used for scientific research. They were caught on camera trying to free dogs from the site. One of just two major facilities like that in the country. Police seized two vehicles and burglary tools, recovered some beagles to return them, but others are still missing. Local authorities noted everyone was cooperative and respectful during the arrest. The Dane County Sheriff's Office gets how strongly people feel about the beagles and supports peaceful protests over these kinds of break-ins. In a big development, the farm will give up its breeding license by July 1, following an animal welfare probe. This wraps up a facility that's been under fire for a while.

1:01This March, Paul sixth the rest over the past decade for animal rights actions, from sit-ins at slaughterhouses to rescuing farm animals. She's been a vegetarian since age 14, when vegan later, and even put no animal-tested makeup clauses in her old acting contracts. This episode is supported by our sponsor. Some people meditate.
