The first of 1,500 beagles being removed from a Wisconsin dog breeding and research business are adjusting to their new lives as animal welfare groups move them to shelters to prepare them for adoption. Ridglan Farms in rural Blue Mounds was the site of a violent clash last month between activists trying to break in and police who repelled them with tear gas and pepper spray.

Authorities say a woman drowned her dog in a Florida airport bathroom and then boarded her international flight after she was prevented from bringing the white miniature schnauzer with her because of a paperwork issue. The woman was arrested in Lake County on Wednesday on a charge of aggravated animal abuse, a third-degree felony. The investigation into the death of the 9-year-old schnauzer named Tywinn started in December when a janitor found the dog in a trash bag in a bathroom stall at Orlando International Airport. A necropsy determined that the dog had died by drowning.
