The bill must still be approved by the Senate and the President, in theory it may come into effect by the end of this year 🤞🏻

What does it mean for the animals?

We are a step closer to ending the suffering of 3 million animals every year, forever.

What does it mean for the Polish fur industry:

❌ No new fur farms from when the bill takes effect

⌛ 8-year phasing out period, with financial incentives for farmers to close the farms before the deadline

An overwhelming majority of MPs across the political spectrum supported the bill (339 for, 78 against)

🎉 Victory: Polish MPs have just voted in favour of introducing a fur farming ban!

❗REMINDER - Last chance to apply! Applications close TOMORROW.

Our silent protest in front of the Polish parliament. Blindfolded, holding photos of animals from our latest investigation, we urged politicians not to look away from their suffering.

MPs are scheduled to start debating the bill on banning fur farming at a parliamentary committee next week.

“Try finding any other issue that 88 percent of Americans can agree on today” – Lewis Bollard takes a calm, factual look at the moral crisis that is factory farming, pointing out that most people consider standard, everyday animal farming practices unacceptably cruel.

Beyond our investigative work, we are continuously pushing food companies, retailers, and governments in multiple countries to end the use of cages.

We won’t stop until these cruel practices are a thing of the past.

These photos are from a Bulgarian farm investigated as part of this project.

Our Bulgarian team met with the Food Safety Agency the day after releasing the footage. We were informed that the farm will not be allowed to continue operation.

We’re now exploring legal pathways to rescue the animals.

These are not isolated incidents. It’s a systemic problem and a global crisis – around 90% of hens worldwide are still kept in cages.

Exclusive: Global egg industry investigation reveals widespread abuse of caged hens amid bird-flu pandemic A global investigation into industrial egg farming found hens were kept in cramped and filthy cages in more than 35 countries, raising animal welfare and public health concerns. Global animal rights…

New footage from cage egg farms in 37 countries across six continents was documented over three years by investigators around the world – including investigators from Anima International.

What We Can Learn from AI Research We are not nearly as smart as we think. But we can get smarter, if we develop the general capacities to learn.

“We are not nearly as smart as we think” – Wayne Hsiung explores why learning and adaptability matter more than perfecting tactics when working to end animal suffering. We're honored to be mentioned in this thoughtful piece.
