Hello everyone,

We are excited to share that Aurora Coop, the third-largest pork producer in Brazil and a major exporter, has officially committed to implementing a pre-implantation system (complete phase-out of the use of crates during gestation) in all its new units with an immediate effect. With this new commitment, we now have five of the largest Brazilian pig producers with pre-implantation systems in new units (JBS, BRF, Aurora, Alibem and Pamplona).

You can read the official commitment here (in Portuguese).

  • Scale: Brazil.
  • Timeline: 6 months of campaigning by Sinergia Animal and several years of negotiation.
  • Other organizations involved in dialogue with the company: Fórum Animal, Humane World for Animals, and Alianima.

Monitoring and Follow-up:
Aurora Coop will report its progress annually. Sinergia Animal will monitor the implementation through meetings, analysis of sustainability reports, and updates in our Pigs in Focus report.

For more details about this commitment or our campaign strategy, feel free to reach out to me at: rborges@sinergiaanimal.org

Thank you!

Hello everyone! Here you can find the June updates from Animal Equality. We hope that you find it helpful and inspiring. We also include our current job openings. Thank you!

Hiring: * Undercover Investigator (Full-time, remote; exempt) Animal Equality - UK We secured a legal victory, enabling animal welfare to be considered in planning decisions, which could have a seismic impact on influencing and blocking future factory farm proposals. We also published an expert-led report on farrowing cages for pigs after gathering over 120 hours of footage, advocated for stronger law enforcement in Parliament, and filed a complaint over 135,000 cleanerfish deaths on a Scottish salmon farm. Animal Equality - Spain Actresses Elisabeth Larena and Lucía Martín Abello joined our campaign exposing Spain’s dairy industry. We called for stronger pig protection laws, including bans on mutilations and gestation crates. Additionally, we joined the protest in Congress to demand an EU-wide end to cages, and are preparing recommendations for the EU consultation on ending cages and male chick killing. Hirings:  * Donor Relations Coordinator (Full-time, hybrid; applications accepted on a rolling basis) Animal Equality - Germany We continued to protest vigorously – both online and in person – against the confinement of pigs and chickens in Ahold Delhaize’s US supply chains.
