MBR Pressure Points

An ideal pressure point, or secondary target, has less to lose than the primary target. A research organization that bought animals from MBR might have their entire business to lose by listening to protestors; this makes it much less likely they’ll listen. The Wayne County Supervisors that represent areas other than North Rose have less to lose for opposing MBR compared to the supervisor representing Rose, but they still have power over it since they govern the county it resides in. Scott Marshall has his company, his family’s way of life, and sense of self to loose.

There are many people in the government that could help. We want to make allies here. AWA (Animal Welfare Act) violations helped take down both Ridglan and Envigo. Considering

MBR’s Friends

Labs that buy dogs from MBR

Businesses that MBR needs to operate

These are businesses that MBR contracts with to support their everyday needs. These are a big weak point for MBR as they don’t need MBR, but if many of them cut ties with MBR, then it can temporarily shut down the company; causing meaningful financial loss. MBR UK has had success with getting companies to join a boycott.

Examples: trucking companies, cleaning services, medical supplies, pet/animal husbandry supplies, internet service

Tractor Supply

Find your local store, or just pick one and call them asking if they will agree to a boycott of Marshall Pet Products.

Subject: Discontinue Marshall Pet Products Due to Animal Testing

Hi Petco Team,

I’m a pet parent writing to inform you that I will not shop at Petco or otherwise support your business as long as you continue to carry Marshall Pet Products.

Marshall Pet Products is manufactured by Marshall BioResources, a company that breeds and sells beagles, pigs, ferrets, and other animals for use in laboratory research and testing. I find it unacceptable for a retailer that markets itself as a champion of animal welfare to carry products from a supplier whose core business is animal research and testing.

Until Petco removes Marshall Pet Products from its shelves and website, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I am also sharing this decision with my family and friends and encouraging them to do the same until this changes.

I would appreciate a response outlining Petco’s position on this issue and any plans to reconsider this vendor relationship.

Sincerely,

Concerned Consumer

Shipping

A USDOT number is a unique ID used by the government to track a commercial truck’s safety record. The DOT is listed by Precisium Solutions LLC in Madison WI. The same exact address as Envigo was. Name changed in 2026. The trucks appeared to be non-climate controlled. Shipping regulations are likely being violated.

File a Complaint

(The trucking company is) “under a year old, doesn’t have insurance posted in any site, self reported 80 trucks but only 20 trucks seen through inspections. Failed an inspection in January for operating a CMV without a proper CDL, and false reporting on ELD-all public info anyways. A lot of grey-red flags going on” — an activist that works in transportation.
