DANE COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Nearly 1,000 beagles at the controversial Ridglan Farms facility in Dane County will be released, according to an animal rescue based in Florida. 

The controversial Ridglan Farms breeding facility has reportedly reached a confidential agreement with the Center for a Humane Economy and Big Dog Ranch Rescue, who will assist in transporting the dogs into their care.

The beagles will reportedly be placed with other rescue partners across the nation. 

It comes after about 1,000 activists went to the Blue Mounds facility in an attempt to break in and rescue the dogs.
