I'm happy to share here with you all the official launch of Animal Law Focus Foundation, a new international organisation dedicated to researching the regulatory framework for the protection of farm animals and developing innovative legal strategies for the creation or improvement of current standards.

For many years, I have worked in the defence of animals - not only in the area of animal law- and I have realised how necessary it is to have a clear and specific focus on how you want to change the world for them. I am of the idea that they do have a voice, only that it is not heard or understood many times by humans, so part of what led me to create Animal Law Focus was the vision of using the tools I have and put them at the service of creating a world where our society and the law recognizes them as subjects of legal protection, valuable for themselves and not for the purposes they may have under the exploitation of which they are victims.
 

Our mission in Animal Law Focus is to reform the legal framework through research and effective actions. We aim to enhance farm animals protection and drive meaningful legal changes working towards reducing the farming industry and, consequently, animal exploitation. We envision a world where animal law and rights are integral to global policy-making and legislation that ensure strong protection for animals and foster a culture of justice and empathy across governments and societies.

To pursue this, we have opened several volunteer positions, that you can check on this link.

Our first project will take place in Chile and targets the slaughterhouses and companies that transport farm animals in that country. These companies are responsible for their last hours of life and dignity of animals destined for human consumption and for multiple infractions of animal welfare regulations. Our work focuses on the analysis of these regulations and the infringing behaviour of the companies involved, in order to determine the most effective possible actions for intervention to increase animal protection, through an animal law focus. 

We have been granted a seed grant from The Pollination Project Foundation to start this promising project, and invite you today to visit our brand new website www.animallawfocus.org to learn more about us and make a donation by clicking on this link, that will allow us to advance our work for animals. 


Thank you for reading and all the work you do for animals. Looking forward to talk more about this project with anyone who's interested - feel free to email me to sabina@animallawfocus.org

Hi FAST!  After decades of tireless advocacy, Sweden has become cage-free – a historic achievement for hens and for everyone who has stood by their side. Millions of hens once endured life in cramped cages, but thanks to Project 1882’s persistent, long-term efforts, there are now no hens kept in cages anywhere in Sweden.  This breakthrough is unique. To our knowledge, Sweden is the only country in the world to have gone cage-free without a legal ban. Project 1882 confirmed this shift by obtaining data from regional authorities and the egg industry.  In 1988, the Swedish Parliament voted to ban cages – but that promise to the hens was ultimately broken. In response, Project 1882 intensified its efforts: publishing detailed reports, launching repeated public awareness campaigns, holding corporate dialogues, and engaging directly with policymakers.   Thanks to these efforts, and following discussions with Project 1882, more than 85 companies –– from retailers to hotel and restaurant chains – have taken a stand against cage eggs. Since 2008, over 17 million hens have been spared a life in cages.  This success shows what persistent, collective action can achieve – even when political will falls short.  At the EU level, Project 1882 also collected 50,000 signatures for the End the Cage Age initiative, pushing for a ban across the EU. With delays pushing the proposal to 2026, Project 1882 is now urging Sweden to take the final step: A legal ban on cages, to ensure they never return.  Read more: https://www.project1882.org/news/sweden-becomes-cage-free

Dear Colleagues, The Animal Law Foundation has placed a fake advertisement in London to raise awareness about the contrast between what the public is sold and the reality of animal farming. This follows a report and an investigation into how animals raised for food are depicted and the reality of the lives animals live. Actress and comedian Diane Morgan and TV Presenter Wendy Turner joined us to raise awareness about this Food Chain Misinformation! The Animal Law Foundations work included an investigation into supermarkets, producers and the media in the UK, which revealed that the dominant image for animal farming is happy and healthy animals outside, this is despite the fact 85% are raised on industrial farms. This is against the backdrop of laws and rules protecting consumers and the public from misleading and dishonest information. You can learn more about our work here and read the report here.  You can find photos from the day and ways you can support the action in our partner pack here. Please also find our links to one of our films from the day with Diane Morgan below, we would be grateful if you could share on your platforms.

In the vegan and animal advocacy movement, operations professionals are the engine behind the mission - keeping organizations running smoothly, sustainably, and strategically. But let’s be honest: being “in operations” often means wearing every hat at once. You’re responding to people’s needs, managing financial activity, ensuring legal compliance, maintaining systems, and reducing risk and solving unexpected problems - sometimes all in a single day. On top of that, you’re shaping internal culture, promoting wellbeing to prevent burnout, reimagining how teams work together, and exploring how AI can support your mission. It’s a complex mix of responsibilities and specialties - all of it essential, and much of it out of sight. To support, strengthen and celebrate this critical leadership, PEPR is launching 'Enabling Impact: The Animal Advocacy Ops Collective' - an Operations Community for the Farmed Animal & Vegan Advocacy Movement - a collaborative space for connection, shared insights, and collective impact. Members will also gain access to tailored programming, tools, and trend insights designed to help you thrive in your role and power your organization forward.  Please head over to our sign up page to let us know if you are interested in taking part. This new program is in addition to PEPR's existing program offering strategic & advisory operational support to farmed animal advocacy organizations through which we accept organizations on a rolling basis.
