Hello Fast members!

I am very happy to tell you that we have two new commitments in Peru, one of them with a location in Chile as well.

The first one is with the Universidad Peruana del Norte in the faculties of Tourism Administration and Services and Gastronomy and Restaurant Management. https://blogs.upn.edu.pe/negocios/2024/02/19/acuerdo-promovera-practicas-agricolas-mas-respetuosas-con-el-bienestar-animal/

Chronology: We started talks 7 months ago.

Who: Arba Perú

Successful tactics: Online conversations first with the Decano of the University and later with the faculties and specialized areas. Our link with them was always online linking producers in each department as the university has locations in Lima and in the north of the country.

Scalability: The University has important commercial links in the northern part of the country, not only with other universities but also with different companies in the food industry linked to the careers. This commitment transmits a value proposition for other universities to join.

Follow-up: We will continue working with UPN and its local egg suppliers to achieve full implementation, and we will conduct training and workshops in the faculties on animal welfare.
 


The second cage-free commitment is with Caffe Profondo, in their Peru and Chile locations

Chronology: We started conversations 4 months ago.
Who : Arba Peru

Successful tactics : We started a face-to-face conversation, always very friendly, we made synergy quickly, their sustainability approach made it easier.

Scalability : Caffé Profondo plans to expand its chain to other countries in Latin America and open more stores in Peru, so we will be accompanying them on the way, bringing them closer to local producers.

Follow up: Every three months we will monitor your implementation.

Have a great day!

Developed by Animal Law Focus – Beta Version Now Available Animal Law Focus is proud to launch the first interactive map of its kind in Chile, providing public access to the locations and profiles of farms, slaughterhouses and aquaculture facilities, across the country. This tool was created to promote transparency, legal accountability, and informed advocacy in the farm animal sector. The map includes: * All identified facilities involved in animal production, including broiler farms, egg-laying operations, dairy farms, fattening units, slaughterhouses, and aquaculture facilities. * A unique profile for each facility, detailing its official registration and any animal welfare infractions recorded over the last five years. * Direct access to publicly available data sourced from national enforcement agencies. 🔧 Currently in its beta version, this tool is a work in progress. It will be continuously updated and improved to ensure it becomes the most comprehensive and accessible enforcement database for animal agriculture in Chile. Our aim is to equip the public, advocates, journalists, researchers, and policymakers with the data they need to demand stronger protections for animals and push for systemic reform. This launch is part of a broader strategy to shine a light on practices that are often hidden from public view — and to ensure that existing animal protection laws are effectively enforced. 📢 We will soon publish our first national report analysing five years of enforcement data and proposing concrete legal reforms to strengthen animal welfare in Chile.

Humánny pokrok has launched its new flagship campaign called STOP rýchlokurčatám (“STOP the fast chickens”) focusing on broiler chickens in Slovakia. The goal was to establish chicken welfare as a relevant public issue in Slovakia, secure a mandate for action from the public, and prepare the grounds for future corporate outreach efforts and pressure campaigns. We’ve launched with publishing the first investigation footage from broiler chicken farms in Slovakia, which was presented in the news segment and investigation programme of the biggest TV station in the country, reaching over half a million viewers, and an additional 1.2 million later on social media. This was followed by a campaign including an agency produced video with a local celebrity that has reached over 2 million people (over one third of the population). On top of that, we’ve published two new reports: one covering the welfare issues of fast growing breeds of broiler chickens, the market data, opinion polls, and ECC commitments and requirements, and one covering the financial aspects of transitioning to ECC compliant production in Slovakia. The reports reached an additional 1 million people through media mentions. We’ve already met with a couple of retailers and are working on additional meetings as we speak. But so far, despite some early signs of possible progress, they are trying to deflect media inquiries and public statements. The Poultry union is, surprisingly, pointing to imported chickens as the main issue, essentially throwing the ball at the retailers as well. However, the investigated farmers are ramping up their legal threats to levels not seen before, probably encouraged by the political situation in the country and decline of the rule of law.  Three weeks after the launch, the campaign collected over 30,000 petition signatures (slightly more than 0.5% of population) calling for the end of fast growing chickens, which is slightly less than we were aiming for, but should be sufficient
