The Marshall Campaign · The next major target
Marshall is bigger.
It is global.
It is next.
A major commercial breeder of dogs for laboratories. Two countries. One target.
The Marshall coalition
Surrender the dogs.
Or we will rescue them.
Marshall sells dogs to laboratories. Envigo did, too — until the federal government, the public, and the people who refused to accept the practice forced it shut. Marshall is next.

The New York ask
Governor Hochul,
will you follow them?
Rep. Mark Pocan, a Democrat from Wisconsin, took Ridglan to the floor of the U.S. House. Rep. Nick Langworthy, a Republican from upstate New York, just wrote to HHS and NIH calling to defund the federal pipeline. One Democrat. One Republican. Two acts of moral courage on dogs in cages.
A major commercial breeder of dogs for laboratories operates in your state. There is a path open here. We are asking you to take it.
Today · alone · no permission required
3 actionsThings you can do before you go to bed tonight.
- 1
Make a personal moral statement.
Say where you stand on Marshall — in your own voice, as Governor of New York. Every campaign that closed a laboratory-dog breeder began the day a public official said the words out loud.
- 2
Direct Agriculture & Markets to investigate.
Marshall’s primary U.S. operations are in your jurisdiction. Conditions, licensing, and the chain of custody from breeder to laboratory — all reviewable by your agency.
- 3
Use the bully pulpit.
Tell New York what you think. The bully pulpit is the most powerful tool in your office and it costs nothing to use.
With time · with leadership · with a coalition
3 actionsAnd three more — if you lead.
- 4
Convene the AG and federal partners.
What closed Envigo was a state-and-federal posture moving in concert. The playbook is on the shelf. Use it.
- 5
Coordinate sanctuary placement in advance.
Plan the orderly placement of every dog at the New York facility. So when Marshall surrenders, the system is ready to receive them.
- 6
Build a statewide coalition.
Faith leaders. Veterinarians. Animal rescues. Federal lawmakers. Make New York the state that ends the breeding of dogs for laboratories.
The legal ask
Attorney General James,
will you follow them?
A Democratic congressman in Wisconsin and a Republican congressman in New York have made the federal case — on the record, in writing, with concrete asks. When members of Congress on opposite sides of the aisle agree, the question is no longer political.
Marshall BioResources, a major commercial breeder of dogs for laboratories, operates in your state. The legal tools — animal welfare law, consumer protection, civil enforcement — are in your office. Open the case.
Attorney General · New York
Letitia James
Today · alone · no permission required
3 actionsThings you can do before you go to bed tonight.
- 1
Open a state investigation.
Animal welfare law. Consumer protection. Statements to regulators. Your office has the tools — point them at Marshall.
- 2
Use the bully pulpit.
Make a public statement. Marshall’s business model is its vulnerability. Public scrutiny is what unwinds it.
- 3
Coordinate with the USDA and federal partners.
Envigo closed because state and federal authorities moved together. The same model applies here.
With time · with leadership · with a coalition
3 actionsAnd three more — if you lead.
- 4
Pursue civil enforcement.
Where the facts support it — and we believe they will — pursue civil action against Marshall’s New York operations.
- 5
Lead a multi-state coalition.
Marshall ships dogs into laboratories nationwide. AGs in every state with downstream harm have standing to act. Convene them.
- 6
Engage the federal DOJ.
Reopen the Animal Welfare Act framework that closed Envigo. Apply it to Marshall.
Rep. Nick Langworthy · R-NY 23
The American people expect their tax dollars to reflect both fiscal responsibility and basic standards of humane treatment. Ending support for facilities that breed beagles for painful experimentation prior to euthanasia is consistent with those values.
— Rep. Nick Langworthy, in a letter to HHS & NIH
April 24, 2026
In an April 24, 2026 letter to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya, Rep. Langworthy called for an immediate end to federal funding streams that support research using dogs sourced from Ridglan Farms — and a clear timeline to phase out all federal support for invasive research using dogs and cats bred for experimentation and euthanasia.
United Kingdom
MBR Acres & the UK campaign.
Marshall’s UK arm, MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire, has been the focus of one of the most sustained animal-rights campaigns in modern Britain. Marshall is one company — closing one operation without closing the other only shifts the cruelty.
The campaign is global

The parallel UK fight against MBR Acres — led by Animal Rising and a coalition of UK organizations — is at savethedogs.uk. We are deeply grateful to every UK advocate making this issue impossible to ignore on the other side of the Atlantic.

What we’re asking Congress to do.
The default ask of any U.S. visitor: contact your House representative and your two senators about ending the breeding of dogs for laboratory testing.
End the breeding of dogs for laboratory testing.
Phase out the federal practice of allowing dogs to be commercially bred as research subjects. Invest in non-animal alternatives.
USDA license review.
The Pocan amendment principle, applied to every laboratory-dog breeder — including Marshall.
Investigate Marshall BioResources.
Conditions, import/export, chain of custody from breeder to laboratory.
Public reporting.
Release inspection records and adverse-event reports for every USDA-licensed breeder of dogs for research.
Take action
No animal should be bred for pain, fear, and confinement.
This campaign begins with dogs — but does not ignore the other animals trapped in the same pipeline.
