The second edition of the Animal Liberation Gathering is coming up! 

Last year we received so much positive feedback that we had no choice but to organize the Animal Liberation Gathering again this year. 

This year it's going to be another long weekend packed with workshops, lectures, community, stands from various organizations, vegan food and rest. Will you join us? 

The program
Soon we will start to announce the speakers. For that, keep an eye on this event and our pages.  

 Would you like to give a talk yourself or be a part of the program in any other way? Then get in touch via the form on the website.  

Date
 You are welcome from Thursday, August 7 to pitch your tent, explore the grounds and catch up. By then there will be dinner and an evening program.
Friday and Saturday there is going to be a full program. Sunday there will be a joint big protest organised by several organizations. We will arrange transportation from the campground. 

Location
The Gathering will be held at the activist campsite Tot Vrijheidsbezinning, located right on the Drents-Friese Wold. How to get there can be found on the event website. 

Sign up & more information
All information about the Gathering can be found here: https://animalliberationgathering.org/ . Through this website you can also confirm your participation.

Please note that (almost) the full program will be in English this year.

Hopefully we'll see you there!

More details on the Animal Liberation Gathering can be found on the website. We've added several parts of the program. And next weeks more is added. 

I hope to see you there! 

More workshops added. Direct Action Workgame, Workshop Compassion for Activists and more. 

We still have openings in the program and are looking for activists and organisations to join and share their practical knowledge about activism with other activists.

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
