2025 Fall IMPACT REPORT

Dear animal advocate,

You’ve been the force behind groundbreaking achievements for animals this year.

You continue to lead the global campaign against Ahold Delhaize, with daily protests at their headquarters in the Netherlands. You made our first Argentine investigation possible, resulting in formal complaints for abuse. In the U.K., your fish exposé became The Guardian’s most-read article.

This reflects your power for animals. Here’s to making a lasting difference everywhere.

With appreciation,

Sharon Núñez
President, Animal Equality

HIGHLIGHTS

You launched your first Argentine investigation with actor and comedian Kiki Petrone, exposing two Buenos Aires slaughterhouses. Formal complaints were filed to hold them accountable for abuse. You also launched a Love Veg cookbook with Argentine recipes to help people make compassionate choices.

END FACTORY FARMING

Factory farms confine hens, mutilate piglets, and separate calves from their mothers, leading to their painful deaths in slaughterhouses. Together, we will put an end to this cruelty.

You took a stand against the Save Our Bacon Act in the U.S., working to protect vital animal protections from being overturned.

In Mexico, you teamed up with singer Denise Gutiérrez to expose dairy industry cruelty in a video that gathered over 120,000 views in just two weeks. You also continued to push for Mexico’s first nationwide animal protection law, a crucial mandate from last year’s constitutional reforms.

In the U.K., your investigation into the farmed trout industry revealed fish being bludgeoned, left to suffocate, and trodden on by the public (including a child). This exposé became The Guardian’s most-read article, highlighting the urgent need for improved fish protections.

In Scotland, you led the world’s largest salmon farming company to stop using lumpfish as “cleanerfish.” This came after you exposed thousands of lumpfish dying on their farms.

In Spain, you’ve been fighting misleading animal welfare labels by proposing amendments to a bill on sustainable consumption.

In Europe, you contributed to a legislative review of animal protection laws, fighting against cages, male chick killing, and force-feeding.

“As an attorney, I’ve never represented any organization as reliably strategic as Animal Equality when it comes to the law. Their use of legal initiatives to solve the problem of factory farming is tactical and sensible.”

—Ryan Gordon, Attorney for Advancing Law for Animals

STOP MALE CHICK KILLING

Male chicks in the egg industry are killed because they cannot lay eggs and cannot be raised for meat. In-ovo sexing technology offers an alternative by identifying the sex of embryos before hatching.

Thanks to you, in-ovo sexing technology is now available in Brazil. This technology will save thousands of male chicks from being killed because they can’t lay eggs. You negotiated with Raiar Orgânicos, the country’s largest organic egg producer, to adopt this technology.
