Beagle Freedom Project UK

Deep in the Cambridgeshire countryside, hidden from prying eyes and surrounded by a high barbed wire fence is MBR Acres, a Beagle breeding facility, where Beagles are bred and sold to animal testing laboratories in the UK and Ireland and where most of the beagles will be dead within 6 months, never having experienced fresh air or walking on grass, simple things, that all dogs should be able to enjoy. Instead, they will live their life in a barren cage, no bed, no hugs, no love, surrounded and living in their own faeces and used as test models.

Since Envigo closed in June, BFP has been helping shelters across the country find loving homes for the 4,000 beagles released through our Shelter Safeguard program. As the leading expert in rehabilitating and rehoming lab testing survivors, we’ve also distributed our Envigo Care Guide to help others care for these special-needs dogs. If you’re a shelter in need of support, we’re here to help! Get in touch.

Beagle Freedom Project is the world’s leading organisation for rescuing and rehoming animals used in experimental research. Since 2010, we have liberated thousands of animals while working to end their abuse through education, advocacy, and legislation. Now we have set up operations in the UK and will soon be moving into Europe. Join us and together, we can consign animal testing to the history books where it belongs.
