For the Animals – Euro Tour 2024

Project 1882’s impactful “For the Animals” tour has been making its way through Europe since May 2024. With stops in 21 cities, 7,900 visitors, and partnerships with 16 organizations, the initiative has brought animal rights to the forefront and called for a full review of EU animal welfare legislation.

Since 1882, Project 1882 has been working to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. With “For the Animals”, we took the next step forward to elevate animal rights issues higher on the EU Commission’s agenda.

Amid ongoing discussions within the EU about animal welfare and imminent decisions that will directly affect their treatment, Project 1882 is dedicated to raising awareness about the real conditions animals face. With “For the Animals”, we travelled across the roads of Europe, allowing citizens to witness firsthand how animals are treated on factory farms and why the promised revised animal welfare legislation in the EU needs to be put in place as soon as possible.

Mobile exhibition

With "For the Animals", Project 1882 wanted to carry out advocacy work around Europe's big cities and create a bridge between the situation of animals, the public and the decision-makers. A unique feature of Project 1882's tour was our accompanying mobile exhibition, where we offered visitors informative, knowledge-building and engaging activities about animal rights and animal welfare.

Creates a meeting place

The mobile event was a meeting place in large European cities, where both the public and elected officials had the opportunity to meet, share information and discuss current solutions to address the problems that exist.

Interactive activities

The mobile exhibition offered interactive experiences and informational materials detailing the conditions of animals in factory farms. Visitors also gained insight into the challenges facing animals and the opportunities for change. By taking the mobile exhibition directly to EU citizens, Project 1882 engaged and educated the public, as well as influenced decision-makers to prioritize animal rights and improve legislation.

For the Animals

We demand a new animal welfare legislation

Billions of animals suffer yearly in horrific animal factories across Europe, where they are subjected to systematic animal cruelty. Many of Europe's animals completely lack a law that protects them. In recent years, the deficient animal welfare has been noticed by the European Commission, but few proposals have been made for changes or improvements for the animals. Project 1882 sees great value in acting now, when time is running out for Europe's animals.
