I wanted to tell you that we’re celebrating that on Wednesday the 18th, Thursday the 19th and Friday the 20th of April we had our

PRIMER ENCUENTRO NACIONAL GALLINAS LIBRES PERU Attachment.png

(First national conference on Cage Free Hens In Peru)

The 4 organizations that carry out corporate work in Peru were part of this meeting with a vision of setting objectives, forms of cooperation and communication. The groups were made up of all the corporate teams of the NGOs: Sinergia Animal, Fundación Veg, Arba and Compromiso Verde. The event took place at the Selina Hotel in Lima.

Among many other topics: 

Making  the resources that our organizations transparent and available to everyone. 

Developing forceful and synchronized strategies, i.e. "good cop, bad cop”.

We proposed a descriptive document of our work to implement commitments in Peru. 

We built a calendar of actions, tactics and negotiations with the companies chosen to put pressure on them. 

We worked on several ideas and volunteer mobilization activities.

We’re developing cooperation instances for the entire year and an optimized and detailed and updated document on the situation of each company.

On the final day of the meeting, along with some volunteers, street actions were carried out against the hotels .

  • Tierra Viva
  • Casa Andina
  • Belmont
  • P. San Antonio

They were incredible days, of great synergy, commitment and friendship,

The teams shared a great experience, our common objective is clear, to free the laying hens from the cages. We are sure   is the secret that makes ordinary people achieve extraordinary results.

So let's go for more!

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!
