At What Cost? Animal Rights & The Modern World

By: Corah Norton
  • Summary

  • Welcome to "At What Cost?"—the podcast that fearlessly dives into the tangled web of animal rights issues, from the shadows of animal testing to the controversial world of fox hunting and beyond. Join us as we unravel the layers of debate surrounding the rights of our fellow Earth inhabitants.


    In each episode, we take a stand with the voiceless and challenge the status quo, exposing the systematic abuse and exploitation animals face in our society. It's not just about presenting arguments; it's about advocating for the rights of the creatures we share this planet with.


    Buckle up for thought-provoking discussions that aim to peel back the curtains on the uncomfortable truths that governments, corporations, and individuals would rather keep in the dark. "At What Cost?" is your compass through the murky waters of animal rights, shedding light on the cost of silence and ignorance.


    Get ready to question, learn, and empathize with our non-human cohabitants as we navigate the ethical terrain of the choices we make and the impact they have on the creatures we often overlook. Tune in, because the price of ignorance is just too high.

  • 1. MBR Acres: Who is Marshall Bio Resources?
    Jan 19 2023

    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.

  • 2. MBR Acres: The Gates to Hell
    Mar 16 2023

    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. Didn’t you know? They’re ‘proud’ of what they do.

  • 3. MBR Acres: What is Animal Testing?
    Jun 10 2023

    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.
