Save the Beagles: Shut Down MBR Acres
MBR Acres breeds thousands of beagle puppies each year at its site in Cambridgeshire, selling them on for painful, outdated experiments. More reliable and ethical alternatives exist, but these dogs are still being tortured in the name of science.
This is the UK’s chance to be a global leader in modern, humane testing methods that save lives without cruelty. It’s time to shut down MBR Acres for good.
MBR Acres is a house of horrors. Behind its locked gates in Huntingdon, over 2,000 beagle puppies are bred every year, only to be used, abused, and killed in the name of “science.” You can help us end this forever.
Some puppies are bled and dissected on-site, their organs harvested. Others are shipped off for toxicology testing, where they suffer unimaginable pain - poisoned, force-fed chemicals, then killed.
But this doesn’t need to happen. MBR Acres does not need to kill puppies. Scientists have already created new testing methods that can replace these beagles today!
Here are the powerful, proven alternatives to animal testing:
- Organ-on-a-chip technology
- AI and advanced computer modelling
- Human cell-based testing
These methods are more accurate, more ethical, and they don’t require animal cruelty.
This needless suffering is why in 2022, Animal Rising rescued 23 puppies from MBR Acres. This year, the 20 rescuers will be taken to court, pleading not guilty to “burglary.” This is the year animal testing will be put on trial.
There are growing calls from the public to save these beagles and all animals from outdated, torturous experiments. And that is why we are calling for the Home Office to phase out animal testing, starting by immediately closing MBR Acres and advocating for investment into modern testing methods which are ethical and more reliable.
The UK has a chance to lead the world in modern, humane science by investing in cutting-edge alternatives like AI and organ-on-a-chip technology. It's time for the government to put our scientists, our economy, and our values first. By backing innovation instead of cruelty, we can protect the animals we love and spare countless lives, human and non-human alike.
Please join us in calling for the Home Office to safely rehome the beagles and shut down MBR Acres once and for all.

Emma Raines signed 2025-12-22 19:07:17 +0000I am a dog owner, and an animal rights activist, and I cannot bear the thought of the cruelty inflicted upon such innocent creatures. I know all too well how cruel people can be. As a teen, I was part of an animal rights group that assisted in the arrest of a notorious animal killer. Seeing the depravity and evil that humans can possess changed so much about the way that I view humanity, and to see that there are groups who are breaking into these facilities to rescue these tortured souls gives me so much hope. You learn very quickly that the legal route will get you nowhere in these cases, and I hope that this liberates more people to stand up and fight for what’s right, even at the cost of legal repercussions. My dog that recently passed was “stolen” from a dog fighting ring, and I’m forever grateful and indebted to the people that saved her. She lived 13 long years of peace. That is what these dogs deserve, and what every animal suffering in silence behind metal walls deserves. To hell with all of the rotten bastards who betray the trust of innocent and vulnerable creatures. -
