Wendy Turner-Webster and Carol Royle at Camp Beagle protest

Television presenter and journalist Wendy Turner-Webster and actress Carol Royle joined Camp Beagle protesters outside MBR Acres in Wyton, Huntingdonshire, on Monday July 1.

Anthea Turner's sister is known for her work with The Humane Research Trust and Animal Aid, and Royle is a patron of Animal Free Research UK. 

MBR Acres, owned by US corporation Marshall Bioresources, operates at an eight-acre site on Sawtry Way.

Their operations were largely unknown until footage was obtained in 2021 of beagles on site, which prompted regular protests outside the facility and lead to the formation of Camp Beagle. 

Camp Beagle is the longest running permanent animal right protest camp in the world and activists have maintained a presence outside MBR acres 24/7 since July 2021.  

MBR Acres says it breeds animals and supplies dogs to licensed laboratories or businesses for the purpose of animal testing and research. Its website adds that the company is "dedicated to maintaining high standards of animal welfare".
