Hello FAST! 

Exciting news! Project 1882 has just released a new report showcasing the growing trend towards plant-based transitions in the Swedish hotel, restaurant, and fast-food industry. With this report, we have been urging companies to set clear goals for promoting plant-based options and reducing the overall amount of meat purchased and consumed.  

Project 1882 works to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. Right now, our primary focus is on decreasing the consumption of chicken and fish, while preventing the common practice of substituting red meat with white meat. We encourage companies to set clear goals to improve the lives of animals, rather than replacing one type of animal species with another. 

Here are some key highlights from the report: 

  • The restaurant chain Linnéa & Basilika (21 units) aims to cut red meat usage by 70 % and chicken by 50 % by 2030. 
  • AM Sushi (20 units) plans to reduce fish and chicken consumption by 50 % by 2030. 
  • Hawaii Poké (21 units) will increase vegan protein sales by 50 % by 2027. 
  • Scandic Hotels (250 units in the Nordic countries) has committed to making 60 % of their food plant-based by 2025. Project 1882 has been encouraging them to clarify what this goal entails regarding meat reduction, and they have now confirmed that this commitment has led to a nearly 30 % decrease in meat purchases. We keep working with them to set a goal for 2030. 
  • KFC Sweden is increasing plant-based protein sales by 5 % per year by 2030. 

The report has sparked great conversations with many companies, and we are optimistic about even more progress soon!

Following confirmation of a HPAI outbreak at a Maricopa County facility affecting 2.3 million egg-laying hens, Animal Outlook's investigator travelled to Arizona to record depopulation efforts at Hickman's Eggs in Tonopah. The footage shows piles of dead birds being poured into dump trucks by wheel loaders scooping out huge barns and workers without personal protective equipment covering their eyes, face, and mouth. Animal Outlook's footage was picked up by AZ Family (the local CBS affiliate) and local news source InMaricopaCounty. Thanks to Dr. Crystal Heath of Our Honor for her expert guidance.  A recent, relatively unnoticed, change to USDA indemnity payments increases compensation to producers from $7 to nearly $17 per bird. Hickman's Eggs--the largest Egg producer in the Southwest and notorious user of prison labor--stands to earn more than $38 million from this mass killing. A fourth outbreak at a Hickman's facility in less than a year was reported in the same week, bring the total number of birds killed by Hickman's due to bird flu to 4.9 million in the past year. With the taxpayer burden likely to be around $72 million.  Around two thirds of egg-laying hens affected by bird flu in the US are killed using VSD+. Animal Outlook's investigator filmed propane trucks exiting the Tonopah facility, suggesting that propane was being delivered for heaters.  https://animaloutlook.org/investigations/hickmans-eggs-investigation/
