18 beagle puppies are now living free, happy lives - not confined, experimented on, or killed in the name of outdated animal research.

Today’s verdict sends a powerful message to the public and to the government which is trying to crush our right to protest: testing on animals is wrong, and

Jury says: Rescuing Beagles is not a crime!

Four Animal Rising defendants have been found not guilty of burglary for rescuing beagle puppies from MBR Acres - and from a lifetime of suffering in a laboratory.

🐶 Last week, Tom, alongside his co-defendants, took the stand explaining to the jury why he decided to get involved in the rescue of 18 puppies from MBR Acres in 2022.

Tomorrow, we are back in court for the closing speeches.
The jury will then be sent out to deliberate and deliver their verdict.

One of those came from her partner Jacob. It is a moving reminder of what we sacrifice and put on the line to rescue animals, but also that we do so with the support of the people we love.

We expect a verdict early next week 🤞

If successful, those challenging animal testing could receive up to a year in prison and unlimited fines.

Ordinary people outreached the public and also entered Parliament to lobby their MPs, with several having conversations with theirs.

Since you added your name, the situation has escalated.

🚨 The Government is now attempting to introduce a new legislation that would seriously restrict the right to peaceful protest, including protests against animal testing. If it goes through, people could face harsh penalties simply for speaking

🐶 Two weeks ago, Hannah was found guilty of “burglary” alongside four other people for rescuing beagle puppies from MBR Acres in December 2022.

This would dramatically restrict our right to protest as it will allow injunctions and protest bans to be used against peaceful demonstrators outside at testing sites.

We must keep on pushing for all the dogs left inside MBR Acres.

The Government is quietly pushing through a new Statutory Instrument that will amend the Public Order Act 2023 to redefine animal testing facilities as “National Infrastructure.”

Three years ago, 18 beagle rescuers helped to rescue 18 beautiful beagle puppies from a life of horror at MBR Acres.
Last week, the first 5 rescuers to go to trial were found guilty of "burglary" by a jury at Cambridge Crown Court.
And more are due to stand trial for this rescue in the coming months
