Wisconsin Court Appoints Special Prosecutor for Animal Cruelty at Ridglan Farms; Supreme Court Rules 9-0 in Royal Canin Case

A circuit court judge in Dane County, Wisconsin, has ordered the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of criminal animal cruelty at the Ridglan Farms beagle breeding facility. Concurrently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that changes made to a lawsuit regarding prescription dog food, Royal Canin v. Wullschleger, were sufficient to strip federal courts of their authority to hear the case, sending it back to Missouri state court. This decision allows pet owners to pursue their class action lawsuit over alleged mislabeling of prescription dog food in state court, following the plaintiff's withdrawal of federal claims, which led to the loss of federal jurisdiction.
