Events and outreach

All events and how to register

Bring it to where you live

Most people still have no idea this is happening in Britain. You don’t need permission to care, and you don’t need to travel to Cambridgeshire.

  • Run a street stall

    A table on the high street with leaflets and a QR code to write to their MP. Saturday mornings are gold.

  • Stalls at local shows

    County shows, food festivals, fêtes, farmers’ markets, dog shows: anywhere crowds gather and dogs are loved.

  • Hand out leaflets

    Town centres, noticeboards, vets’ waiting rooms (with permission), cafés and pet shops happy to display a card.

  • Give a talk

    A library room, community hall, university society or local group: 20 minutes on the facts and what people can do.

  • Small, peaceful demonstrations

    A handful of people, clear placards, a friendly tone. It is far more persuasive than anger.

  • Come to an event

    Join something already planned. Every person who turns up gets counted.

Keep it peaceful and lawful

  • Stay on public land or get the landowner’s permission. Check whether your council needs notice for a stall or a street collection.
  • Keep it calm, factual and friendly. Never target individuals, homes or staff.
  • Use the facts on this site, so every claim you make is one you can stand behind.

In short

Questions people ask

How can I help end beagle breeding at MBR Acres?
The most effective lawful actions are: write to your MP about MBR Acres, sign the parliamentary petition calling for a public inquiry into animal-testing regulation, come to a campaign event, organise a stall or walk in your own town with the free print pack, and support the wider movement. Everything Save the Dogs UK asks of supporters is peaceful and within the law.
Is there a petition about animal testing I can sign?
Yes. UK Parliament petition 778680, started by the actor Peter Egan, asks the Government to launch an independent public inquiry into the regulation of animal experiments under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. As of 13 October 2026 it had 16,110 signatures. It passed 10,000 on 29 September 2026, so the Government must respond; at 100,000 it is considered for a debate. It closes on 9 March 2027. Sign the petition.
Does writing to my MP about MBR Acres make a difference?
A letter from a constituent is treated as constituency casework, and MPs can table written questions, raise MBR Acres in debates and write to Home Office ministers. A written question from the Member for Huntingdon produced the April 2026 answer on the November 2025 Home Office audit of MBR Acres. Our MP letter tool finds your MP from your postcode.
Is Save the Dogs UK part of Camp Beagle or Animal Rising?
No. Save the Dogs UK is a fully independent campaign and is not affiliated with Camp Beagle, Animal Rising, Save the Dogs USA or any other organisation. We credit and link to their work because the movement is bigger than any one group, but we do not speak or act for them, and they do not speak or act for us.
Can I organise my own event against MBR Acres?
Yes. Street stalls, leafleting, small peaceful demonstrations and talks all work. Stay on public land or get permission, check whether your council needs notice, and never target individuals, homes or staff. Leaflets and posters are free in the print pack, and the open WhatsApp community will help you plan.
Is it legal to protest at MBR Acres?
Peaceful protest is lawful, but since 12 February 2026 life sciences sites count as key national infrastructure under section 7 of the Public Order Act 2023, so deliberately interfering with their use or operation can carry up to 12 months in prison and an unlimited fine. The regulations are being challenged by judicial review. Read protest law explained before you go.
