Camp Beagle Merchandise

Lorri from VEGAN Happy Clothing is helping the Camp with their merch - a vital fundraiser as the Camp heads into the winter months, as well as great promotion for the cause.

Hey Lorri – Camp Beagle! What’s your role currently?

I am the owner of VEGAN Happy Clothing but recently I have become involved with Camp Beagle and the Free The MBR Beagles Campaign. We have recently just finished building their website for them which is the least we can do to help this amazing cause so please do sign up for updates to this cause here www.thecampbeagle.co.uk In case you didn’t know, Camp Beagle is the physical manifestation of the Free The MBR Beagles Campaign, to close down MBR Acres in Huntingdon that breeds 2,000 puppies a year for needless toxicology testing.

Tell us why this campaign means so much to you.

Beagles are close to our heart as it was our Beagle Poppy who sparked us to go vegan, and ultimately gave birth to VEGAN Happy. So when a fabulous customer called Donna asked us to get involved, we jumped at it. We always donate 10% or more of profits back to animal rescue so this cause jumped out at us to try and help more than usual, to put more effort in rather than just funds. I would like to point out, that we are just a very small part of the huge amount of amazing people that make up Camp Beagle, there is no leader, just lots of amazing people coming together to further this cause. So many people are involved and that is what makes this campaign so powerful, a collective of amazing activists, bundled with a huge amount of passionate animal rights people, means that this movement is growing so fast, we really do have a good chance of getting a review of the law, and hopefully changing the UK law on vivisection for good!

How can people help the Camp?

In so so many ways! If anyone wants to find out how they can help just click here: https://www.thecampbeagle.co.uk/how-to-help

Although there are a lot of campers that stay permanently at the camp outside MBR Acres, there are so many day visitors, that no matter how much time you have, every minute spent at camp or sharing our posts on social media, or signing petitions, and so much more, really does help this campaign continue to snowball and we really do have a chance to change the law and end vivisection in the UK for good. Anyone is always welcome to come to Camp, there is always a cup of tea ready for you and endless amounts of food that kind supporters bring. How to find Camp:

What’s your favourite bit of Camp Beagle merch?

So many lovely pieces of merchandise, it really depends on your taste, there really is something for everyone, and all merchandise is 100% profit going straight back to Camp Beagle, so a great way to raise funds. We can’t thank enough our brand supporters:

Viva-la-Vegan (official merchandise provider)

@v_e_g_a_n_s_t_i_t_c_h

...and of course,VEGAN Happy.

A good bit of support from some high profile vegan celebrities we note.

We have such huge support it’s incredible. Our favourite always being Scarlett, the Beagle rescued from a laboratory after 2 years of torture, who always reminds us why we are doing what we are doing at Camp Beagle. 2,000 puppies a year here are like Scarlett and destined for labs and in the cases of MBR, death after 3 months of torture at approximately only 6 months old! You can find out more about Scarlett here https://www. thecampbeagle.co.uk/scarlett I didn’t want to name drop Ricky or Peter here so focused on Scarlett as when they hit the page they will see them etc.

And briefly… a new range from VEGAN Happy?

So excited to be able to tell you that we are launching VEGAN Happy Urban very soon! If anyone wants to find out more about that, please sign up to our newsletter at www.veganhappyclothing. co.uk as we are launching next week! Our range is designed to be a bit edgier for 18-30 year olds primarily (although we are sure it will have a much wider appeal) and we think it’s unique in the vegan apparel market. For a hint... for some of our designs, we commissioned a graffiti artist to create unique artworks for us, and that’s just a taste of what is to come.
