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MBR Acres breeds thousands of beagle puppies each year at its site in Cambridgeshire, selling them on for painful, outdated experiments.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There are growing calls from the public to save these beagles and all animals from outdated, torturous experiments.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

Andrea Harwood signed 2025-06-15 23:06:23 +0100I honestly cannot fathom why this facility has free passage to operate when puppy farming is illegal in our country. It can’t even be called a puppy farm… it is a puppy factory! No care and minimal standards met? Puppy’s born just to die? What is the financial gain for parliament? How are the toxicology tests cross referenced? Do each of the private companies pay for the same tests in the race to be the best in pest control or laundry products or cleaning product? Does the results from one dog get shared between the greedy companies? Or do they each buy their own dogs for toxicology tests individually resulting in repeated tests? How can it be justified as medical science? Where is the gain for humans? Whereis the gain for the animals classed by scientists and government as pets in the veterinary field? Where is the gain for the eco system?
I was so shocked when I heard this ‘money making scheme’ is alive and kicking in my home county of `Cambridgeshire. If I didn’t have dependants counting on their Foster Mum, I would be doing time for this…. And PROUDLY! #untileverycageisempty -
