Investigation into Frankenchickens sparks public debate in Finland
Following an investigation published by Helsingin Sanomat featuring material provided by Project 1882, there has been a strong public reaction to the treatment of Frankenchickens. The coverage, which also aired today on YLE, Finland’s largest news outlet, has now prompted the first political response to the issue in Finland.
The fur industry’s links to Russia stresses the need for an EU import ban
Imports of goods from Russia have been partially halted by the EU following the invasion of Ukraine. However, an exemption was introduced over the summer – for Russian sable fur. At the same time, funds linked to Russia have been found within the fur industry’s EU lobby. Project 1882 believes this highlights the need for a clear ban on fur imports.
Project 1882 and 280 researchers, experts, and organizations call for a cage ban
An open international letter calls on the European Commission to propose a cage ban in 2026. Among those who have signed the letter are Project 1882 and animal welfare experts and researchers in Sweden.
Unique chicken images published in Helsingin Sanomat
Helsingin Sanomat has published unique images from Project 1882 documenting the entire life of Finnish Frankenchickens. The footage follows the chickens throughout their lives before they are sent to slaughter, shedding light on the reality inside Finnish chicken factory farms.

About Project 1882
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.
How we work
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.

Focus areas
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. Our clients are the chickens, hens, cows, pigs and other animals in need of our help − we are there to give them a voice and defend their rights. That is the core of our project since 1882.
