Wayne Pacelle on beagle rescue, wolves and wild horses

Wayne Pacelle, founder and CEO of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy, shares updates on the closure of Ridglan Farms near Madison, Wisconsin, where more than 1,000 beagles have been rescued. He discusses the conditions the dogs faced, why animal testing is becoming obsolete, and the effort to find alternatives while reducing costs. Pacelle also talks about horses being removed from public lands, being sold by the federal government and, in some cases, finding their way into the slaughter pipeline. And there’s growing concern that the Supporting America’s Ranchers presidential executive order could reduce protections for gray wolves and endangered Mexican wolves. While it is an attempt to appease ranchers and farmers, wolves are needed for the ecosystem. Steve also shares how a specific cat food could help with seasonal allergies. https://serve.castfire.com/audio/8678417/Steve_Dale_s_Pet_World_10_04_26_2026-09-22-213217.128.mp3 Recent Posts Steve Dale’s Pet World Experts discuss the power of the human-animal bond .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Stefanie Powers on Kenyan wildlife conservation .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Dr. Rustin Moore on the human-animal bond .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} The woman raised by cats and the Cat Man .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Wayne Pacelle on beagle rescue, wolves and wild horses .cls-7{fill:#fff;fill-rule:evenodd} Click for more
