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]

STOP ALL ANIMAL CRUELTY TORTUROUS EXPERIMENTS ON ALL BEAGLES AND ALL OTHER ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY!! MAKE IT BANNED IN ALL OVER THE WORLD TO TORTURE ANY ANIMALS ON THIS EARTH IMMEDIATELY!!!!
Ich stimme dir absolut zu, noch hi zufügen möchte ich das man diese Quälerei an diesen Monstern machen sollte damit diese skrupellosen Verbrecher dieses Leid selbst ertragen was sie unzähligen Tieren antun, das sind Monster keine Menschen.
I agree 100%. cruelty to animals must be stopped globally but monstrous money making humans will make this impossible.
I’d love to hand out the exact same treatment to those who inflict it on animals. Sometimes I’m ashamed to be part of the human race & the term “mankind” is totally inappropriate.
TOTALLY AGREE IRENE EXACTLY WHAT I SAY EXPERIMENT ON THE EXPERIMENTERS!!!
THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY. THOSE RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE EUTHANIZED.
I TOTALLY AGREE !!!
This is NOT science, this is CRIME and MISTREATMENT of animals carried out by sadistic psychopaths who, in addition, get paid for performing these atrocities.
DEATH PENALTY for ALL animal-torturers and animal-abusers. These monsters don’t deserve this planet. No animal shall be mistreated by dehumanized and desensitized psychopathic scum. ALL animal-abusing sadists must be EUTHANIZED to set an example.
DEATH PENALTY is the only adequate punishment for this hellish scum!
THAT IS ALL TRUE…. THESE “EVIL PLACES AND PEOPLE” MUST BE PUNISHED !!! CLEARLY CRIMINALS FOR SUCH HORRIBLE TREATMENT TO THOSE INNOCENT SOUL’S!!!
Sick and tired of humans using legal loopholes to torture animals for ZERO REASON – end this madness
It is Pure Evil what is done to animals.
I heard a story just recently that the only time this one particular lab beagle was allowed to run around free of his/her cage; yet only indoors, was right before this Angel was euthanized.
UK, why are you allowing the torture and the horrific cruelty that is innate with the so called scientific research; animal testing has not proven to be of value humans. There are ways of testing products without the savage use of animals. Testing on animals must be permanently stopped worldwide.
Beagles being bred for the purpose of being sold to experimental research centers is pure Evil. How this is acceptable in the UK is beyond me. This needs to change. MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire Farm needs to be permanently shut down.
Why is the UK govt aware and doing nothing!!!
Why is that farm 🚜 still open? Where are the animal activists not making noise outside the farm?? Picketing?
ALL EXPERIMENTS ON ALL ANIMALS NEEDS TO STOP WORLD WIDE NOW!!! WHY NOT TRY YOUR EXPERIMENTS ON MURDERERS, CHILD KILLERS ETC
Stop breeding and experimenting on animals!!!!!
Sickening!! Shut these down and torture who did this!
If these places are allowed to use some innocent animals for their sick ass experiments. Then John Q public should be allowed to track down and expose those assholes and then USE THEM for various experiments. Fair is fair!!!
Please shut down MBR acres. Marshall does not care that the dogs are suffering in the heat in those terrible metal sheds. No one will do anything. The home office ignores the plight of these beagles in that dreadful place. Please do something.
Shut this shit down immediately.
Dear Fat ass lord and greedy bastards self dealing and cruel humans
Stop the BS and senseless abuse of these innocent non human creatures. Why don’t you iae the prisoners for all human related experiments. Makes more sense that if so called experiments for the benefit or the destruction of humans then stands to reason to use humans for trials and experiments. They can give you better feed back and analysis of such experiments. Any other non human can only suffer in agony and silence, they can not provide a usefull response or fill out any surveys. So wake the fk up lordship fat asses and start worrying of the defenseless and helpless non human creatures that depend on Hans to protect them and care for them us we all humans must stop the abuse of non human animals.
So for once in your miserable positions of power do something worthy and earn the respect of your constituents.
There should never be any testing done on animals! It should only be done on criminals (animal abusers, child abusers , people who have committed crimes)! animals don’t deserve this abuse -the only thing they’ve ever been guilty of is love. Please stop the testing now -and also people need to buy only products that were NOT tested on animals!
SHUT DOWN AND BAN ALL BEAGLE BREEDING PLACES AS WELL BAN ALL CRUEL EXPERIMENTS ON ALL BEAGLES AND ALL OTHER ANIMALS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY…. MUST HAPPEN NOW!!!
The UK is so cruel to dogs. They even race greyhounds and send to china for meat slaughter. It’s beyond disgusting and evil.
I had no clue they did this! I learn something disgusting about cruelty to animals almost every day.
Animals are not objects. They are sentient beings who suffer and love just like us. These breeding places must be shut down now and all cruel experiments banned. Pets must be our family members. That’s all.
This needs to end. Shut this place down No Innocent Animals deserve to be used for experiments is cruel and abuse and wrong on every level. If you have a heart you would right by these Animals and let them find loving homes because they deserve that.
THERE IS NO NEED WHAT SO EVER TO USE ANIMALS IN LAB TESTING. I THOUGHT THIS COUNTRY IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. IT IS EMBARRASSING THAT OTHER COUNTRIES SEE AND HEAR THIS PRACTICE GOING ON IN A COUNTRY WHO IS TO PROTECT LIFE. I DON’T GET THIS, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO EXPERIMENT WITHOUT USING GODS CREATURES. IT IS SUCH A SHAME, MY HEART CRIES FOR THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS. GET A HEART AND SOUL AND MORALS AND VALUES FOR GODS SAKE.
