Drawing on her expertise as a scientist specializing in non-animal methods (NAMs) and her background in public health\, Amy focuses on creating systems-level change by working collaboratively with policymakers\, scientists\, and biotechnology companies to elevate and expediate the full implementation of NAMs. \nLiving just minutes from Ridglan Farms\, Amy and her beagle Maggie have been uniquely positioned to press for accountability and justice on behalf of the thousands of dogs confined there. In partnership with Rise for Animals\, The Marty Project has spotlighted the urgent need for systemic reform by exposing the injustices endured by the dogs at Ridglan Farms. \nLindsey Soffes\nLindsey Soffes leads programs at Rise for Animals\, a national animal rights organization dedicated to ending animal experimentation. With a background in law and nonprofit advocacy\, her work focuses on investigating the hidden realities of the animal research industry and driving exposure\, advocacy\, and public mobilization to end it. \nLindsey has led Rise’s efforts to help confront and hold accountable Ridglan Farms. In frequent collaboration with The Marty Project\, Rise has filed multiple state and federal complaints\, supported the passage of a county resolution calling for state action\, and brought attention to the absence of meaningful federal oversight of the animal research industry—using Ridglan as a case study of the legal\, regulatory\, and ethical failures that define the system. \nWebsite: The Marty Project \nWebsite: Rise for Animals URL:https://thebeaglealliance.org/event/nov-town-hall-ridglan-farms-accountability-change/ CATEGORIES:Town Hall Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thebeaglealliance.org/tba/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Town-Hall-202511-Amy-Maggie-Lindsey.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Beagle Alliance":MAILTO:info@thebeaglealliance.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20250827T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Winnipeg:20250827T210000 DTSTAMP:20260430T191416 CREATED:20250725T194855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250909T201425Z UID:10000122-1756323000-1756328400@thebeaglealliance.org SUMMARY:August Town Hall - John Ramer\, Kindness Ranch DESCRIPTION:SEE OUR TOWN HALL HERE\n \n \n \n \n \n Please welcome back our friend\, our partner\, John Ramer\, Executive Director of Kindness Ranch Animal Sanctuary. \nAs you may recall\, we spoke with John awhile back (November 2022) after he was instrumental in the rescue and homing of the “Envigo” beagles. \nWe are thrilled to sit down with John again\, this time not as a first time face to face\, but as friends and partners.

Despite public opposition and decades of advocacy\, Ontario law still allows pet dogs and cats to be used in Canadian testing facilities — some sold by shelters to labs for as little as $2—under Ontario’s deeply flawed Animals for Research Act. \nThrough their Project Jessie and No Pets in Research campaigns\, Animal Alliance of Canada has made major progress\, but the work isn’t over. This webinar will break down what’s happening\, why it matters\, and what needs to change. Most importantly\, you’ll learn how to take action to help push for the legislative reform needed to end the use of pet dogs and cats in research. \nBIOS:\nLia Laskaris\, Chief Executive Officer\nLia has been with Animal Alliance of Canada for over 20 years\, beginning as a dedicated volunteer and now serving as our Chief Executive Officer.

After I adopted my first dog and cat\, I became very interested in animal rights. \nAs someone very passionate about animal advocacy\, I wanted to share my passion through the power of social media. I created an advocacy and awareness account called @Pawesitivee on Instagram. Apart from that\, I volunteer at the Toronto Cat Rescue where I perform in-store tasks and go in at various times to take photos and write bios to help the cats get adopted sooner. \nI’m also a volunteer at Eight Paws Dog Rescue\, where I help with social media work and format bios. This organization takes dogs from the streets of South Korea and gives them a second chance here. This organization hits home for me as I’m Korean; volunteering with this organization made me sad to see how badly some of the traditional dogs (Jindos) are treated; but it’s also an opportunity to help them. \nI recently began a small business on Etsy where I sell self-illustrated stickers and donate 10% of the proceeds to an animal welfare organization. Living with a dog and a cat while seeing similar animals get abused on the streets is an eye-opening experience and I hope to introduce others to a positive animal perspective. \nI want to pursue a career in law where I can generate bigger changes for the unspoken victims of our world. \n \n Register Today!
