Shut Down Facility That Reportedly Breeds Dogs for Torturous “Experiments”

Target: Baron John McFall, Lord Speaker of UK Parliament

Goal: Support enhanced legal protections for animals bred for and subjected to cruel experimentation.

When roughly 4,000 beagles were rescued from an Envigo research and breeding facility in Virginia, it spurred hope that the horrors of animal experimentation were finally being taken seriously. The Envigo facility was shuttered, and new state laws protecting these animals have been enacted. Unfortunately, the same just outcome cannot be claimed for a strikingly similar case in the United Kingdom (UK).

MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire is a farm that breeds beagles for the purpose of shipping them off to animal research centers. The dogs bred at the facility reportedly endure a miserable life wherein they are kept in cramped facilities and forced to give birth to thousands of beagle puppies collectively every year. Once born, the pups apparently face an even more bleak future.

After they arrive at their new “homes,” they are allegedly force-fed or forced to inhale toxic substances. If these poisons do not immediately give them heart attacks or otherwise kill them, the torturous process begins anew. The beagles are not even afforded a dignified death, as their bodies are sliced and diced so they can be “studied.” While these horrors unfold, authorities are busy arresting activists who dare to protest this sanctioned animal cruelty.

Sign the petition below to demand a change to heartless laws that protect the heinous and punish the compassionate.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Lord Speaker McFall,

“Criminal damage”: these words are used to describe charges against people who attempt to liberate innocent living beings from a life of misery, abuse, and torture. Cambridgeshire research and breeding facilities have been the site of frequent protests for years, with the most recent resulting in the arrest of nearly a dozen people for the aforementioned charges. Not once, however, have these facilities faced the same level of scrutiny.

Thousands of beagles have passed through the facilities. Instead of being beloved pets, these animals are instead reportedly used as guinea pigs for the most excruciating toxic substances and deliberately given grave illnesses. None of this so-called research has resulted in a meaningful scientific breakthrough. They are bred in places that trade in exploitation and unrelenting factory farming that is its own kind of horror.

When a similar case recently occurred in the United States, the animals (thousands of which had already died) were rescued and the facility that harmed them shut down. Where is the accountability in Cambridgeshire and across the United Kingdom? Please advocate for stronger laws that will protect these innocent animals from a lifetime of abject terror in the so-called name of science.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. conduct your human based experiments on your life long inmates that have murdered people.

  2. Paula+Long says:

    All facilities private or public should be banned from performing any experiments or research on any animal.

  3. A TOTAL MISUSE OF MY HARD EARNED TAX DOLLARS! I NEVER AGREED TO THESE INHUMANE HORRIFIC TESTS ON INNOCENT ANIMALS!PROSECUTE ALL PERPETRATORS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW AND SHUT-IT-DOWN NOW!!!!!!!!

  4. Jane Van Haaften says:

    Rehome these dear Beagles now!

    Archaic and senseless experiments using animals are invalid, a waste of money and cruel. Join the modern research world using computer models, stem cell research and human volunteers now!!!

    God Blessthese innocent puppies and dogs now.

    Our taxes

    We are keeping animal torturers in jobs
    The government need to review the funding as we are in an economic crisis and we can surely deduct funding resulting in reduced cost, less animals tortured and money for sanctuaries for rescued animals from labs as they will be messed up especially there body’s, we the taxpayer are not here to pay for torture of animals even if hidden, therefore many are animal lovers and basically not agreed or signed any document agreeing for capture torture of an animal, look at a pharmacy. look at all the different brands of painkillers, cough mixtures etc, it is evident there are many and enough is enough, please look and aware government families have pets also, there ripping you off, a lot can be done with technology now

    There will always be animals killed in public or secret and it has improved and we have to move with the times

    I was born with asthma I am 52 I have inhalers and thank people who created this and oxygen and nebuliser it will never go and its the environment, dust and I think researchers should look at pollution as this sets it off (its up to me to exercise, eat well and remove dust at home I don’t want animals to suffer for me

    Regards

    Torture those humans instead

  7. “Atrocities are no less atrocities when they are carried out in a laboratory and called ‘research'”. Don’t know who said that, but was he/she ever right!!!! Those who are capable of carrying out “research” on these trusting creatures and those who breed them for that purpose have to to be the most despicable and barbaric scumbags on the planet and deserve to be tortured themselves……

  8. animals of all kinds!!!!!!! Need to be loved ,respected and Above all protected by phycotics, narsysisits. Dear God in heaven!!!!!

  9. Evil, barbaric out dated practice. Use inmates and other animal abusers to conduct your experiments on. Leave poor defenceless animals alone.

  10. Diane+johnson says:

    AWFUL…ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!!! PLEASE SHUT DOWN!! HOW CAN ANYONE DO THIS??!! PLEASE STOP!

  11. Had no clue they came from England!

  12. Julia Edinger says:

    THIS MUST END IMMEDIATELY!!! STOP THIS “HORRIBLE EVIL TREATMENT” TO THOSE INNOCENT DOGS….

    BEST USED ON MURDERS AND SERIAL KILLERS……

  13. Maria Lavorato says:

    NO SOUL ARE THE WORDS THAT COME TO MIND.

    SHUT ALL THESE PLACES DOWN NOW. SAVE ALL THE DOGS AND CHARGE ALL THOSE INVOLVED. ALL HUMANS INVOLVED IN ANY ASPECT OF THESE HEINOUS EVIL ACTS SHOULD FACE THE SAME TORTURE!

  14. beagles are such sweet and docile dogs thats why these lowlifes use them in horrific experiments. lets not forget our own great dr of death, dr fauci and the things the nih did to those dogs knowing the research was leading them nowhere.

  15. Debra Spurrier says:

    These are modern day torture chambers for the most vulnerable beings among us. The nonhumans have little to no protection under our laws. It is stunning that we can use and abuse and murder them in the most horrific ways however we see fit–without any regard whatsoever for their pain and suffering. It is medieval. We humans have turned this planet into one giant torture/death chamber for the other animals. And there is no end in sight. Billions upon billions of animals each year suffer and die in labs, slaughterhouses, hunting grounds, and at the hands of sociopaths. So another day, another petition:(

  16. Annette & Jeff Patrone says:

    This is absolutely shameful, must be stopped and shut down. I’m going to share this a contact at PETA if they don’t already know.

  17. How do you a..holes slep at night . How can you go to work everyday and know what you are going to do to innocent animals. Because you are pure evil beings. Someday you will answer for what you are doing . Remember no one escapes karma . She is a bitch and she will find you . You are all a waste of human space .

  18. Stop this despicable abuse on beautiful, helpless, innocent dogs. So heartbreaking 💔 to breed an animal so they can be brutalized in needless experiments or killed deliberately for any excuse that these deplorable labs and individuals want to do. These precious dogs need protection! Please STOP and start loving animals.

  19. I refuse to use drugs or put chemicals in my body knowing that animals have been maimed and tortured when science has proved that animal experiments seldom transfer to helping humans. It needs to stop.
