New footage from inside the Swedish chicken industry: "Enough is enough"
Sick, injured, dying, and dead chickens. This is the reality confronting viewers as Project 1882's new footage from Swedish factory farms is brought to national attention.
Major victory – world’s first octopus factory farm stopped
Plans to build the world's first commercial octopus factory farm on Gran Canaria, Spain, have now officially been abandoned. The decision comes after years of pressure from Project 1882, alongside scientists, experts, and other animal welfare organisations. This marks a significant progress for animal welfare and means that up to one million octopuses a year will be spared from being bred and killed in industrial production.
EU unveils new food policy – a crucial turning point for animals
On 7 July, the European Commission presented two major initiatives: the new “Livestock Strategy” and the “Protein Action Plan”. Together, they set the direction for the future of Europe’s food system – with major implications for animals, the climate and how our food is produced. There is now an indicative timeline for phasing out of cages in the EU including an import ban on cage eggs.
McDonald’s Ukraine announces cage-free commitment
A major step forward for hens in Ukraine: McDonald’s Ukraine has announced that it is now 100% cage-free following discussions with Project 1882. The commitment means that all eggs used across McDonald’s more than 120 restaurants in Ukraine now come from cage-free systems instead of hens confined in cages. It is a significant milestone in a country where around 98% of the egg-laying hens are still kept in cages.

About Project 1882
With effective campaigns and political advocacy, Project 1882 makes a difference globally for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We have been a driving animal advocacy organization in Sweden and beyond since 1882, creating change for millions of animals.
How we work
We provide information about animal welfare and bring citizens' opinions to those in power. We shape public opinion and influence legislation. We dismantle factory farming and advocate for the development of animal-free research methods. We inspire and enable consumers and companies to choose vegan options and make animal-friendly choices. With effective campaigns we engage the public, highlight animal welfare problems, present solutions and bring about concrete changes.
Support our work
Project 1882 is entirely dependent on donations from the public. All donations make a difference and help create concrete results for animals. If you want to support our work for the animals, you can do it here. Thanks!
Focus areas
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. Our clients are the chickens, hens, cows, pigs and other animals in need of our help − we are there to give them a voice and defend their rights. That is the core of our project since 1882.
