They were convicted of animal cruelty in Italy. So they moved to Britain.

MBR Acres breeds 2,000 beagle puppies every year for laboratory experiments. The people behind it were convicted of animal cruelty in Italy — so they set up in the English countryside instead. We are Camp Beagle, and we stand at the gates.

The Background

Convicted in Italy. Relocated to Britain.

The people behind MBR Acres were previously involved in running Green Hill, a beagle breeding facility in Brescia, Italy. In 2014, the Italian courts convicted them of animal cruelty. Rather than reform, they moved their operation to a quiet corner of Cambridgeshire.

Today, MBR Acres breeds around 2,000 beagle puppies every year and sells them to laboratories for experiments. The facility operates behind closed doors with no independent oversight.

The Trials

When Peaceful Protest Went to Court, Juries Sided With Us

Camp Beagle activists have been taken to court for their peaceful protests. In every jury trial, the verdict has been the same: not guilty. Juries of ordinary people have consistently upheld the right to peaceful protest.

Not Guilty

First Jury Trial

Activists charged following peaceful protest at MBR Acres. A jury of twelve ordinary people heard the evidence and returned a unanimous not guilty verdict.

Not Guilty

Second Jury Trial

Again, peaceful protesters were prosecuted. Again, a jury acquitted them. The public understands what these activists are doing and why.
