Fox Hunting: Evading the ban

Welcome to another eye-opening episode of "At What Cost?" where we're diving headfirst into the controversial realm of fox hunting. In this episode, appropriately titled "Fox Hunting: Evading the ban," we're pulling back the curtain on the hidden tactics that some hunts employ to give the illusion of compliance with regulations. Join me as we navigate through the smokescreens and deceptive practices that shroud the reality of fox hunting today. It's time to expose the inconvenient truth: that despite the ban, some hunts continue to systematically abuse foxes all in the name of a twisted notion of sport and entertainment. We'll unravel the arguments used to dupe the public, from the creation of fake scent trails to the despicable act of baiting fox cubs. Brace yourself as we uncover shocking footage that lays bare the blatant abuse that persists behind the scenes. So, grab your headphones and prepare for a journey into the heart of a hidden world—one that thrives on cruelty while trying to hide behind a veneer of legality. This is "At What Cost?" lifting the veil on fox hunting and revealing the true price of this so-called 'sport.' https://www.huntsabs.org.uk/kimblewick-hunt-terrier-men-given-suspended-sentence-for-animal-cruelty/ https://www.huntsabs.org.uk/hunt-terrier-man-tortures-fox-with-pitchfork/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/12/world/europe/fox-hunting-warwickshire-england.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/12/world/europe/fox-hunting-warwickshire-england.html] https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/nov/06/monarchy.hunting [https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/nov/06/monarchy.hunting] https://protectthewild.org.uk/fox-hunting/what-is-a-bagged-fox/ [https://protectthewild.org.uk/fox-hunting/what-is-a-bagged-fox/] Brian May v Jim Barrington on fox hunting - BBC Newsnight [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6JgW9zQCi0&ab_channel=BBCNewsnight] BARLOW HUNT CONVICTION FOR KILLING FOX DENIED [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Nc_Ab03t8&ab_channel=HuntSaboteurs] Man sentenced over 'abhorrent' animal abuse after attacking fox with garden fork | ITV News [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vif0pOjW71I&ab_channel=ITVNews] Battle In The Country: The Hunt Saboteurs [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsAJo1-191o&ab_channel=BBCThree] Sabs attacked after helping foxes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Z7pLO171U&ab_channel=WestMidlandsHuntSaboteurs] Rat Baiting and Fox Tossing || History of Bloodsports [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKRJCYTrdkM&ab_channel=ForeignFieldLivingHistory] Fox Cubs Investigation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHtc78NNMYs&ab_channel=LeagueAgainstCruelSports] MUSIC:  Slow Suspense [https://pixabay.com/music/build-up-scenes-slow-suspense-118551/] - Ashot-Danielyan-Composer [https://pixabay.com/users/ashot-danielyan-composer-27049680/] via Pixabay Produced, edited and recorded by Corah Norton ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

3. MBR Acres: What is Animal Testing?

Throughout this episode, we engage in open dialogue about the ethical considerations that arise in animal testing and the ongoing efforts to minimize animal suffering. We explore the advancements in alternative testing methods, cutting-edge technologies, and the quest for more accurate and ethical research models that can eventually replace or reduce the use of animals in experiments. Hidden away in the idyllic Cambridgeshire countryside is what has been described as 'the gates to hell', otherwise known as MBR Acres. This factory farm breeds dogs, specifically Beagle puppies, on a mass scale. These dogs exist purely for animal testing. But just how wide-scale is this government-approved and taxpayer-funded operation? I research this hidden and widely hidden world of animal testing, breeding, abuse, and occasionally blatant unlawful deception considered to be legal and compliant with government guidelines. All for the sake of a 90% animal testing fail rate to aid humans in their quests of ‘science’. Say hello to the parent company of all things anti-animal rights: Marshall BioResources. Didn’t you know? They’re ‘proud’ of what they do.

2. MBR Acres: The Gates to Hell

MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire is the UK's 'Legal Puppy Mill'. Government-approved and tax-payer funded. Welcome to where Marshall Bio Resources breeds their 'Marshall Beagles'. They're kept indoors in barren cages to remain pathogen-free and have been filmed walking around in their own urine and excrement. They are left alone for hours on end and never see the light of day. Hidden away in the idyllic Cambridgeshire countryside is what has been described as 'the gates to hell', otherwise known as MBR Acres. This factory farm breeds dogs, specifically Beagle puppies, on a mass scale. These dogs exist purely for animal testing and go on to be used in the vivisection industry. The puppies are sent off from their cages to laboratories to be tested on and die. But just how wide-scale is this government-approved and taxpayer-funded operation? Join me, Corah Norton, as I research this hidden and unspoken world of animal testing, breeding, abuse, and occasionally blatant unlawful deception and crime that is all considered to be legal and compliant with government guidelines. All for the sake of a 90% animal testing fail rate to aid humans in their quests of ‘science’. Say hello to the parent company of all things anti-animal rights: Marshall BioResources.

1. MBR Acres: Who is Marshall Bio Resources?

Say hello to the parent company of all things anti-animal rights: Marshall BioResources. Didn’t you know? They’re ‘proud’ of what they do. Buckle up, folks! In this episode, we're taking a wild ride through the twisted tale of Marshall BioResources—the ferret farm that time forgot, evolving into a breeding behemoth that seems to play by its own set of rules. From their humble beginnings in the 1900s to their current reign of questionable practices, it's clear that Marshall BioResources is doing business at any cost, and no one's been able to slam the brakes on them, no matter how many violations pile up under their name umbrella. We're lifting the veil on MBR Acres, a seemingly picturesque spot nestled in Cambridgeshire, dubbed by some as 'the gates to hell.' Behind those gates, they're churning out Beagle puppies like there's no tomorrow, all destined for the grim world of animal testing and vivisection. These poor pups become unwilling participants in gruesome medical toxicology experiments, with a one-way ticket to death either through the testing itself or a twisted notion of 'mercy' for their suffering. But just how massive is this government-approved, taxpayer-funded operation? I'm your host, Corah Norton, and I'm on a mission to unravel the secrets of this hidden world of animal testing, breeding, and occasional shady business that somehow stays legal and compliant with government guidelines. All for the sake of a staggering 90% animal testing fail rate, all in the name of 'science.' So grab your investigative hats, because we're diving deep into the belly of the beast.
