Project 1882's Press Centre
Project 1882 works globally to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. We have been doing this since 1882.
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.

33 reports of animal welfare violations – yet not a single inspection was conducted
Every year, Project 1882 requests inspection reports on animal welfare. In 2025, no inspection was carried out at a major chicken slaughterhouse, despite official vets having identified shortcomings. Project 1882 can reveal that the situation has been similar for several years running, and that the responsible authority lacks transparency regarding how Swedish chickens are treated at the time of their death.
New data shows five years of systematic animal abuse in the Swedish chicken industry
Since 2021, Project 1882 has requested statistics and inspection reports on chicken slaughter in Sweden. Every year has revealed systematic failings that have not been rectified. These failings have caused unnecessary suffering to tens of thousands of chickens every year. Project 1882 believes that the problems lie in the use of turbo chickens and high slaughter rates, as well as the government’s historically passive stance.
Danish Animal Welfare Minister wants to ban turbochickens
Denmark's Minister for Nature and Animal Welfare has announced that he will work towards a national ban on turbochickens. This means the entire Danish government, together with the conservative and liberal opposition parties, now supports a ban.
Danish centre party wants to ban turbochickens
Denmark’s centrist party Moderaterne has called for a national ban on turbochickens. Project 1882 welcomes the announcement, which means that a political majority in favour of phasing out fast-growing breeds is beginning to emerge in Denmark.
