Four weeks. Two thousand dogs. Not one word.
We wrote to MBR Acres in good faith, in public, and in peace. We gave them four weeks to reply. The deadline passed at midday on 19 July 2026. They did not respond.
Their silence is an answer. Around two thousand dogs are in the sheds at Wyton at any one time, and the company that keeps them did not send one letter in reply.
What the letter said
- Dated 20 June 2026, addressed to MBR Acres and copied to its parent companies, customers and the Cambridgeshire authorities. Posted by recorded delivery and hand-delivered.
- A direct, peaceful ask: meet us — at a time, place and on terms entirely of your choosing — and negotiate an end to beagle breeding at Wyton, including an offer to buy the remaining dogs outright.
- A four-week window for a substantive reply.
- Signed publicly by thousands of people. Written in good faith, within the law, with legal review.
MBR Acres let the deadline pass without a reply — to us, to the signatories, to anyone.
What happens now
We offered dialogue. They chose silence. That choice is now part of the public record — and it changes nothing about our resolve.
The campaign continues: in the open, within the law, and louder than before.
MP pressure. ASRU transparency. Parliamentary motions. Public awareness, street by street. Every route stays open except the one MBR Acres just closed — the easy way out.
The letter is closed. What remains is the record: what was asked, who asked it — and who chose not to answer.
