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MBR Acres breeds thousands of beagle puppies each year at its site in Cambridgeshire, selling them on for painful, outdated experiments.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There are growing calls from the public to save these beagles and all animals from outdated, torturous experiments.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

Adam Lawes signed 2025-11-22 00:23:58 +0000Animal Testing like Evil Animal Agriculture and also just like all forms of Evil Religious Animal Sacrifice is inhumane, insane, evil, cruel, barbaric and completely and totally unnecessary. Including especially as we already have the AI technology now that is not only already in existence, but it is also already in use and being practiced and used to replace all aspects of animal testing by moral and lawful and humane companies and organisations that have already switched to AI and ended all their forms of animal testing. By replacing all of their testing with AI technology testing, including not only because it is the only humane way as it requires no animals at all, but also because it is far more affordable and it is also far more accurate, faster and the only humane way to do any form of testing at all. For example AI technology has already made the evil inhumanity of animal testing obsolete in the following ways: A: AI-Simulated Human Biology (“Digital Humans”). As AI Models now simulate: Human Organs, Human Tissues, Blood-Brain Barrier and Immune Responses which all predict toxicity and reactions without using animals. They also outperform obsolete and cruel and inhumane barbaric animal testing because the AI models give far more accurate results and they’re based on AI using human biology instead of animals. B: AI-Driven Organoid Research: Organoids are tiny human tissues grown from stem cells. AI models then analyse how chemicals affect them and predict whole-organ responses. And this AI-Driven Organoid Research has already replaced Cosmetic Testing, Drug Toxicity, Hormone Disruption Testing, Neurological Damage Studies and with NO Animals at all being involved or required ever again in any form of testing. C: AI-Enhanced “Lab-on-a-Chip” Systems: This AI Technology uses Microfluidic Chips to mimic human lungs, human hearts, human vessels, human skin and all human organs. And then AI interprets the data and runs predictive models that are far more accurate and also faster than the outdated, obsolete and inhumane technology that previously required the evil, inhumane, cruel and immoral testing of animals. So AI is already being used by moral businesses and humane organisations to replace all aspects of animal testing. And not only is AI testing giving faster and more accurate results than animal testing ever did or was able to, AI is also giving far more accurate and faster results completely humanely and without the sheer brutality and cruelty and inhumanity of animal testing. Finally along with now necessarily making animal testing obsolete and outdated, we must also make the evil pandemic, cancer-causing and climate change causing industry of animal agriculture completely obsolete by making a plant based diet mandatory globally, and also finally we must make evil inhumane insane religious animal sacrifice banned because no true god or messiah would want animals to be sacrificed.

Andrea Middleton signed 2025-11-21 22:46:01 +0000This animal cruelty needs stopped immediately. It is disgusting in the age of new technology resulting in no need for animal testing, that this is still allowed.
Please stop the torture now. -
