Consort Kennels was a commercial breeder of beagles for animal testing, based in Hereford, UK. It closed in September 1997 after a 10-month campaign by animal rights activists. ^[1] Upon closure Consort sold its stock of 170 beagles for £300 each, some to animal rights groups.^[2]

[edit] Consort Beagle Campaign

The Consort Beagle Campaign was formed in 1996 by Greg Avery and Heather James with the aim of closing the facility. It included over 200 daily protests, raids carried out by the Animal Liberation Front, and the removal of 26 beagles in May of 1997.^{[3] [4]} Following the closure of Consort, the campaign morphed into a similar campaign against the commercial cat breeder, Hillgrove Farm.^[5]
