The Norwegian chicken industry has taken a historic step forward for animal welfare. Frankenchickens will be phased out, and the mass killing of newly hatched male chicks will stop. Project 1882 urges Sweden and the EU Commission to follow Norway’s lead.
There are serious shortcomings in the handling of animals in animal testing in Sweden, reveals Sweden’s latest implementation report to the European Commission. This shows the urgency to speed up the work on animal-free research methods and to develop a national action plan to phase out the use of animals in research and testing.
Avian influenza reached historically high levels across Europe in 2025. According to Project 1882, the trend highlights how factory farms contribute to the spread of disease and cause immense suffering for the animals.
The EU has taken a historic step forward by agreeing on new welfare rules for cats and dogs. Project 1882 welcomes the agreement but stresses that not all companion animals are covered.
Project 1882 is urging the EU Commission to work for a ban of the breeding of Frankenchickens. Take action to end the blight of Frankenchickens, sign the petition today!

With effective campaigns and political advocacy, Project 1882 makes a difference globally for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We have been a driving animal advocacy organization in Sweden and beyond since 1882, creating change for millions of animals.
We provide information about animal welfare and bring citizens' opinions to those in power. We shape public opinion and influence legislation. We dismantle factory farming and advocate for the development of animal-free research methods. We inspire and enable consumers and companies to choose vegan options and make animal-friendly choices. With effective campaigns we engage the public, highlight animal welfare problems, present solutions and bring about concrete changes.
