Hello everyone, This week, Mercy For Animals released White Striping at Whole Foods, a shopper-led investigative report exposing the company's continued reliance on birds bred for extreme and unnaturally fast growth. The exposé, featured on WholeFoodsChicken.com, addresses the disturbing truth behind white striping and the prevalence of signs of muscle abnormality in Whole Foods' chicken supply.  The Investigation: In February 2025, Mercy For Animals called on people living near Whole Foods locations to survey chicken meat at their local stores for evidence of white striping disease. This disease is visible as white lines of fat across chicken meat that have replaced oxygen-deprived muscle tissue, commonly due to rapid growth. Meat products from ultrafast-growing birds often bear these scars. While not harmful to consumers, they are visible proof of the appalling cruelty the animals endure. The Results: Participants investigated chicken meat at 88 Whole Foods locations in North America. The stores surveyed span 52 cities across 18 U.S. states and six cities in one Canadian province. Meat with clear signs of white striping was found at every location visited, a strong indication that Whole Foods continues to source Frankenchickens. Next Steps: The findings are alarming and highlight the urgent need for Whole Foods to fulfill their promise to stop sourcing ultrafast-growing birds. With the report's release, we are escalating our public efforts to urge Whole Foods to publish a clear, incremental roadmap toward fulfilling their commitment to banning Frankenchickens and improving chicken welfare in their supply chain. One such effort is an open letter signed by 14 doctors and public health experts imploring Whole Foods to follow through on their pledge, pointing out the risks posed by failing to do so. The letter cites the results of this report. We hope this report is beneficial to your organization. Feel free to reach out directly to me with any questions at natal

Hello Fast! This year, the new aquaculture law will begin to be created, and we have launched several campaigns to raise awareness about marine animals and bring them closer to the public. One of these is our Save the Lobsters (Salvemos a las Langostas) campaign. A major Chilean supermarket (with locations in several Latin American countries) displays lobsters for sale in small aquariums that violate basic animal welfare standards and, furthermore, lack an internal protocol for their sale. In response, we have taken various actions, one of which is to alert the public. We have created a website to raise awareness about the situation, recently launched a petition for signatures, and as a result of our efforts, the Colegio Médico Veterinario de Chile (Chilean Veterinary Medical Association) has issued a statement supporting the view that invertebrates are sentient beings! This is very encouraging for us, as this is a highly respected professional body in Chile. We invite you to learn more about our campaign and reach out to us for any feedback you may have. We would be happy to hear from you.   Best regards, Marysabel Pavez Director Fundación Derecho y Defensa Animal (DyDAnimal Chile) marysabel@dydanimal.com

Hi FAST!  The fight against fur farming in Sweden has taken yet another step forward.  This past week, the Swedish government has officially launched an inquiry into how a fur farming ban can be implemented. This follows a commitment made in 2023 and is the result of over 50 years of advocacy by Project 1882.  Last year, the government pledged to phase out mink farms and explore a full ban on fur farming. To support this transition, financial aid was introduced earlier this year to help farmers shut down their operations. Now, with this inquiry in motion, Sweden is closer than ever to ending fur farming for good. A legal ban is essential to ensure fur farming never returns.  The inquiry will outline how the ban will be enforced, with “animal ethics discussions” cited as a reason for moving forward. With the last mink farms expected to close to qualify for the government’s decommissioning support of 180 million SEK, industry resistance is fading, making a ban easier to implement.  Now, Project 1882 is urging the Swedish government to move forward with the inquiry without delay and to push for an EU-wide ban in line with the Fur Free Europe citizens’ initiative.  Read more here: https://www.project1882.org/news/major-victory-sweden-moves-closer-ban-fur-farming
