For the Animals – Euro Tour 2024
The upcoming years carry immense importance for the billions of animals confined within Europe’s factory farms. Project 1882 is now taking action by launching a European tour. With “For the Animals”, our aim is to shed light on the situation of these animals and raise awareness among both EU citizens and policymakers.
Amid ongoing discussions 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 are journeying 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.
– How we treat animals is one of the great existential questions of our time. With our tour across Europe, Project 1882 will shed light on the systematic suffering endured by animals in factory farms every day. As Sweden’s leading animal rights and animal welfare organization, it is crucial for us to bring this issue to a wider audience and expose the reality of Europe’s animals, says Benny Andersson, CEO of Project 1882.
The mobile exhibition will offer interactive experiences and informational materials detailing the conditions of animals in factory farms. In addition to learning about factory farms, visitors will gain insight into the challenges facing animals and the opportunities for change. By taking the mobile exhibition directly to EU citizens, Project 1882 hopes to engage and educate the public, as well as influence decision-makers to prioritize animal rights and improve legislation.
– The EU Commission has failed to deliver on its promises. Proposals for new animal welfare legislation exist, but they are not being presented, which is a betrayal of both citizens and animals. Through our European tour, Project 1882 will shine a spotlight on the needs of animals and their rights, concludes Benny Andersson.
Since 1882, Project 1882 has been working to make a difference for the animals that are the most exploited and suffer the worst. With the new European tour “For the Animals”, the organization takes the next step forward to elevate animal rights issues higher on the EU Commission’s agenda.
