Consort beagles campaign
The Consort beagles campaign was founded in 1996 by British animal rights activists Greg Avery and Heather James, with a view to closing Consort Kennels in Hereford, a commercial breeder of beagles for animal testing laboratories. == Background == The company closed in September 1997 after a ten-month campaign consisting of daily protests and raids carried out by the Animal Liberation Front, including the removal in May 1997 of 26 beagles.
