Project 1882's new photos and videos from Finnish fur farms show that monster foxes are still being bred in the fur industry. The material is being released as the European Commission considers the future of fur farming in the EU.

The European Commission has published a Roadmap to phase out animal testing in chemical safety assessments. The urgency of this major undertaking is underscored by distributed visual materials showing the harsh conditions animals are subjected to during routine toxicity testing. Project 1882 welcomes the initiative but warns that important gaps remain.

Plans to build the world's first commercial octopus factory farm on Gran Canaria, Spain, have now officially been abandoned. The decision comes after years of pressure from Project 1882, alongside scientists, experts, and other animal welfare organisations. This marks a significant progress for animal welfare and means that up to one million octopuses a year will be spared from being bred and killed in industrial production.

On 7 July, the European Commission presented two major initiatives: the new “Livestock Strategy” and the “Protein Action Plan”. Together, they set the direction for the future of Europe’s food system – with major implications for animals, the climate and how our food is produced. There is now an indicative timeline for phasing out of cages in the EU including an import ban on cage eggs.
