We are excited to announce that the Animal Ethics website is now available in Arabic. This marks an important milestone in our mission to spread ideas that can help all animals. With Arabic being the 5th most spoken language in the world, this effectively opens it up to over 300 million more people who can have access to this important information.

The suffering of animals is a global issue, so it is crucial that resources like ours can be accessed by diverse audiences worldwide.

Animal Ethics provides realistic perspectives on the lives animals lead, especially wild animals, and how we can help them. Covering topics from speciesism to wild animal suffering, our website curates scientific and philosophical information to further the animal protection movement. Our aim is to inspire academics, students, and concerned citizens to join us in reducing animal suffering, through their careers or outside of them.

Making content accessible across languages is key to this goal. Because of this,  our website is available in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Telugu, Chinese, German, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian and now Arabic.  If we add up the pages and posts in all languages, we now have more than 1900 publications online!

We encourage everyone to learn as much as possible about issues related to wild animal suffering, so we’ll be able to discuss important future issues and support public and private initiatives to make wild animals’ lives better. With a long-term perspective, we hope to gradually shift attitudes on how animals are viewed and treated so that societies and institutions will include the wellbeing of all sentient beings in their plans and priorities. This includes crucial global priorities.

Every language added gives more momentum to the animal advocacy movement. We aim to reduce suffering not just for animals alive today, but also the many generations to come. More translations mean these ideas will continue spreading across cultures, borders, and generations.

Achieving this milestone would not be possible without dedicated volunteers generously offering translation support. We are deeply grateful for their efforts in helping expand our message.

Every contribution brings us closer to a more livable world for all animals.

If you are able to volunteer translating content into any of the languages our in which our website is available, or into  Korean, Russian, Turkish, please contact us at translations@animal-ethics.org.

We’re thrilled to share a victory for animals and truth in advertising! Thanks to Animal Outlook’s lawsuit, filed with the incredible support of Legal Impact for Chickens (LIC), the nearly 100-year-old DC butcher shop, Harvey’s Market, has agreed to stop selling foie gras forever. The case, filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court, challenged Harvey’s Market’s alleged deceptive advertising practices related to foie gras. The lawsuit alleged that Harvey’s Market falsely promoted foie gras as “HUMANELY RAISED STOCK” and “FREE RANGE,” among other allegedly misleading claims. These statements were displayed inside Harvey’s Market in a manner that suggested they applied to every product in the meat case, including foie gras. AO and LIC argued that animals subjected to gavage (force-feeding) to produce foie gras can never be “humanely raised,” and that animals raised entirely indoors without outdoor access cannot be considered “free range.” Thanks to the efforts of LIC’s amazing legal team—Kathryn Evans and Alene Anello—we were able to send the message that deceptive claims about animal welfare will not go unchallenged. As part of the case, LIC sourced a unique poll of DC consumers to show 75% believe “humane raised stock” to be an inaccurate description of the birds used to make foie gras. A further 80% said they would not consider such birds to be “free range”. And when shown an image of the meat case from Harvey’s Market approximately 65% said they thought the signage applied to all products in the case, including the foie gras.  While Harvey’s Market did not admit liability, Animal Outlook voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit on July 1, 2025, following the confidential settlement agreement.

Hi all! We’re happy to share that Super Festval, a supermarket brand part of Grupo Beal (former “Companhia Beal de Alimentos’), has officially published a commitment to exclusively source pork from group housing systems during gestation in Brazil by 2028, considering preferably preimplantation systems where sows are housed in stalls for no longer than 7 days. You can read the announcement in Portuguese on the company website here. Super Festval is a traditional family business with a local well-known brand and 39 stores in the state of Paraná, south of Brazil. The organizations Alianima, Fórum Animal, Humane World for Animals and Sinergia Animal engaged in corporate relationship with the company for 5 years of negotiations, combining strategies of friendly negotiation, technical support and public campaign warning to accelerate the commitment. The negotiations were positively influenced by the fact that Super Festval has a cage-free commitment fulfilled in 2024 (see their report to the Egglab audit). This is a successful case to strengthen animal welfare policies negotiations with retailers in Brazil. At the moment, it's important to increase the number of animal welfare policies implemented in Brazilian retail in order to promote progress in this sector that is traditionally less receptive to animal welfare policies. We will continue monitoring the implementation of Super Festval commitment, encouraging the company to report their evolution annually, asking to participate in Alianima’s Pig Watch report and extending its animal welfare policies to additional species, for example nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). For the animals,

Today marks a historic win for animal advocacy in Brazil, thanks to the combined efforts of Humane World for Animals, Te Protejo, , Fórum Animal and Change.org .  On July 9, 2025, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved the Senate substitute for PL 6602/13 (now PL 3062/22), banning federal animal testing for cosmetics, personal hygiene products, and perfumes. Why this is huge: •⁠  ⁠1.6 million+ signatures delivered a powerful public mandate. •⁠  ⁠A decade in the making—originally filed in 2013, it finally broke its long legislative stalemate. •⁠  ⁠Brazil moves closer to becoming the world’s 45th country to outlaw cosmetic animal testing, sparing millions of animals from suffering. Besides us, the project had the support of many activists and other organizations and institutions such as the Department of Animal Protection that was created within the Ministry of the Environment in Brazil. Next steps: The bill goes to presidential signature. After enactment and a 60-day vacatio legis, ANVISA and other agencies will have up to two years to implement alternative testing methods and enforce the law. This breakthrough proves what we can achieve when we unite. Let’s keep up the momentum—share this news, raise your voice, and push for a cruelty-free future!

Iceland Foods committed to eliminating eyestalk ablation and implementing pre-slaughter electric stunning across their own-label prawn range by the end of 2027. ICAW has been running a campaign against Iceland for several months inclusive of digital actions, in-person demonstrations (including 70 people gathering in London in May) and other pressure tactics. Only 3 retailers have yet to commit to higher prawn welfare in the UK: Aldi, LIDL and ASDA. Thank you to everyone involved for supporting our campaign!
