Puppy-loving Babestation stars do naked protest for 'as much attention as possible'
It may not be unusual for Babestation models to get their kit off – but some will be doing so for a much different reason next month.
That’s because they will be protesting against a puppy factory that breeds beagles for medical research.
Stella Paris, who unknowingly dated a murderer while he was on the run, and April Mae, who is Princess Diana’s 11th cousin, will raise awareness by wearing nothing but bikinis.

They will do so alongside other influencers outside MBR Acres in Huntingdon, Cambs, where up to 2,000 dogs are bred annually.
Puppies stay in enclosures there before being sold to labs from 16 weeks old.

Vegan restaurant owner and Babestation presenter Stella, who is a former radiographer, spoke to Daily Star about why she wanted to act on July 10.
She said: “We are using our bodies to get attention but it’s for an important cause and for people to listen.
“I am pretty sure there are a lot of people in the UK that still don’t know what is happening to beagles.
“I think to get the attention of the media and the public we have to do something a little bit eccentric such as wearing bikinis.
“It will get people to talk and we are trying to get attention, not on us or for us to sell something, but to get attention for the beagles.”
Disturbing footage obtained by Dylan’s Films for Animals earlier this year showed beagles at MBR Acres contained in faeces-covered cages.
TV host Christ Packham described it as a “view from hell” and expressed his disbelief that it was allowed to happen.
Comedian Ricky Gervais was equally appalled and said: “It is absolutely heartbreaking to see the sadness in these beagles’ eyes. I’m appalled that this prison torment for dogs is legal in the UK.”
MBR Acres refused to comment but a petition is being shared to stop animals being used for toxicity tests.
And when Stella, who is from Malta but based in the UK, was asked why it was an important cause for her, she said: “For me I want to be the voice for animals all over the world, whether it be dogs, chickens, cows or goats.
“This is about making people aware of what is going on and hopefully they will be empathetic enough to stand up and make a change and sign the petition.
“I don’t think animals should be exploited and they deserve a life.
“The beagles are anxious and frustrated and they never see the sky, they have never seen the grass and they will never run out in a field or feel the wind.
“Once we hit 100,000 signatures it can be debated in parliament. At the moment it is legal for beagles to be farmed in this way and be tested on horribly.”
Protesting outside MBR Acres is not a new phenomenon and two years ago singer Will Young handcuffed himself to the front gates.
This was the same year Camp Beagle was set up near the site before a court issued temporary injunctions.
But the facility has since taken legal action to stop activists from entering their site.
One employee told the high court how some protests were “terrifying” and that people have shouted things like “monster” and “puppy killer” at him.
Protestors have also broken into the facility before like when 18 dogs were taken last December.
A spokesperson for MBR Acres previously argued that the facility helped “save millions of human and animal lives” because of their biomedical work.
