Who Did Alexandra Paul Play on "Baywatch"? Actress Arrested over Allegedly Trying to Free Dogs From a Former Breeding Farm

Alexandra Paul and about 20 others were arrested after allegedly trespassing at Ridglan Farms during a protest that freed several beagles used for biomedical research.

  • On Sunday, March 15, Alexandra Paul, 62, was arrested in Wisconsin after protesters allegedly entered Ridglan Farms to free beagles, and the Dane County Sheriff's Office confirmed she was among roughly 20 arrested.
  • Protesters entered Ridglan Farms without permission, targeting dogs used in research as a group of 50–60 people began removing purpose-bred beagles for biomedical research, officials said in a press release and Dane County Sheriff's Office statements.
  • Dane County Sheriff's deputies reported that some beagles were recovered and returned to Ridglan Farms, while others remain unaccounted for, and two vehicles and burglary tools were seized at the scene.
  • Regulatory steps will see Ridglan Farms surrender its DATCP breeding license by July 1, 2026, following an animal-welfare investigation, the facility announced.
  • Paul has a long record of direct-action protests at farms and slaughterhouses, was acquitted in a 2023 chicken rescue trial, and became vegetarian at 14 and vegan at 47.
