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MBR Acres breeds thousands of beagle puppies each year at its site in Cambridgeshire, selling them on for painful, outdated experiments.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There are growing calls from the public to save these beagles and all animals from outdated, torturous experiments.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.

No animal should have to suffer fear, pain, or abuse for human benefit or entertainment. They cannot speak for themselves, so it’s up to us to be their voice.
Kindness costs nothing. Choose compassion, support cruelty-free products, and stand against animal abuse wherever you see it.
Be part of the change. Together, we can help create a world where every animal is treated with the care, respect, and love they deserve.
Stop animal cruelty. They deserve better. 🐾 -

Sheryl Wood signed 2026-06-30 12:21:58 +0100So outdated experimenting on animals when they are new scientific ways . Shame these dogs cannot speak English if they did you would then not be able to experiment on them as they would have rights
. But remember they have same living rights and should be treat same way as humans would like to be treat . -

carolyn wright signed 2026-06-30 00:56:42 +0100I remember seeing pamphlets when I was a teen about a place called porton down, now I’m 55 years old and have discovered through social media that animal experiments are STILL legal in the UK. I’m appalled these poor beautiful sentient beings are still being subjected to this harm. I owned a beagle years ago, my neighbours have a beagle!! These are FAMILY MEMBERS!!! STOP THIS NOW. How can anyone with a conscience do or allow this??? -
