The Bark Back #3: Santa Visits, New Pups & Dolly’s Twin

In this Oh My Dog mini-documentary, Sara visits Camp Beagle, the protest camp outside MBR Acres, a facility that has been breeding beagle puppies for animal testing for over 50 years.Over the course of the visit, we meet camp resident Sole, hear the dogs inside the facility, and learn what happens to puppies bred for laboratory experiments - and why campaigners believe animal testing is both unethical and outdated.This is a first-person report of what Sara saw, heard, and felt while at Camp Beagle.⚠️ Some listeners may find parts of this episode distressing.I recommend watching this episode, either on Spotify or on YouTube: @ompod.I’d really like to know how this made you feel, so please leave a comment or email the show: [email protected] you for watching/listening.Still a way to go so please SIGN THE CAMP BEAGLE PETITION: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/736578Huge thanks to Sole, and to John, Emma and Timea for your time and passion.
