An actress from the cult series 'Baywatch' was arrested on March 15 in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, as part of a protest involving 50 to 60 demonstrators who invaded the property of 'Ridglan Farms' around 8:30 AM. According to the county sheriff, she was one of approximately 20 individuals taken into custody during the incident. At the time of the article's publication, she was still being held in custody, highlighting the serious nature of the protests.

'Ridglan Farms' is one of the two major dog breeding facilities in the U.S. that supply animals for scientific research. However, an agreement reached in October 2025 stipulated that this facility would cease operations under state license and stop breeding dogs for biomedical research by July 1, 2026. This context underlines the growing scrutiny and opposition to such facilities as activists push for animal rights and welfare.

During the protest, some activists reportedly breached the site's premises and began removing dogs. While some of the beagles were later found and returned, several remain missing, raising concerns about their welfare. Additionally, law enforcement authorities confiscated two vehicles, burglary tools, and other evidence connected to the incident, indicating a well-organized protest effort and the tensions surrounding animal rights activism in the region.
