Investigations
Vivisection Laboratory
Animal Equality’s research team entered several vivisection laboratories in Spain. They witnessed dozens of mice being forced to coexist in cramped cages stacked on top of each other, many desperately biting the bars in an attempt to escape. We were able to rescue four mice who were slated to be used in likely painful and traumatic cirrhosis research.
Moscatel – Toro de La Vega
Animal Equality did not back down, and once again, investigators were present at the annual “Toro de la Vega” event. The photos and video https://vimeo.com/6595048footage they obtained garnered national and international media coverage, sparking outrage and debate over the cruel tradition.
Valenton – Toro de La Vega
Animal Equality investigators infiltrated the cruel “Toro de la Vega” festival for the first time to document and denounce the cruelty of the bull killing ritual. In the annual event, a terrified bull is chased through the town of Tordesillas, Spain, and speared to death by hundreds of lancers once he reaches an open field.
Degaporsa – Campofrio Pig Supplier
Responding to an anti-vegetarian ad campaign from meat giant, Campofrio, Animal Equality released a video exposing the cruel treatment of pigs on a farm that supplied the animals to the company. The vidhttps://vimeo.com/2749302eo was seen by hundreds and thousands of people and is still in circulation today.
5 Spanish Slaughterhouses
Animal Equality’s first investigation documented five slaughterhouses in northern Spain, exposing for the first time the cruelty and systematic mistreatment of animals in these places. The shocking footage investigators obtained is still used today by organizations around the world today.
