A silent protest took place today outside the gates of puppy breeding facility MBR Acres in Wyton.

One of those at the event told The Hunts Post: "Today, for the first time we had a powerful silent protest at the 20-odd police on site. We paid respect to the two dog vans that were then seen leaving. This is the fifth consecutive week that MBR Acres has sent Beagles to labs."

The protesters turned their backs on the police officers at the site as a form of silent protest. A petition calling for a ban on commercial breeding in laboratories now has almost 25,000 signatures. You can sign here:
