And the cruelty is against the Brazilian law that promise protection of domestic animals.
- Animal Equality did an undercover investigation in Germany's two largest chicken meat producers, which are pure hell for chickens. Chickens are smashed, kicked and thrown away alive. Nearly 100% of Germany's chicks live in farms like these two, so they can be raised for food. And they live for no longer than just 42 days.
- A worldwide campaign and petition have been launched by Animal Equality, in hope for an immediate closure of the world's wet markets that get their name in part from blood, guts, scales and water that soak the floors of the stalls, in other words, remnants from the animals brutally killed for customers who wanna eat fresh meat. In India, China and Vietnam, many animals live in filthy conditions and suffer from dehydration, starvation and disease. Wet markets are not only known for posing an immediate threat to the public health due to documented disease outbreaks both in the past and the present days, but are also extremely cruel and inhumane to animals.
- During their first of its kind investigation in Italy, Animal Equality went to the chicken industry in the country, to reveal the pain, suffering and death fast-growing chickens are forced to endure as a result of genetic selection. Compared to chickens living in animal shelters, chickens in factory farms are prevented from getting any of their natural needs. The cruel practice of letting chickens grow unnatural fast is very common in similar farms around the world.
- Once again, Animal Equality gives you the shocking truth about the dairy industry, this time through investigative work on several farms in Northern Italy, where cows are subjected to cruelty and suffering. The controversial practices have been kept secret from the public.

Together, both Animal Equality and their supporters can save even more animals and hold the animal agriculture industry accountable.
- Animal Equality has done a new undercover investigation into the British chicken industry, this time at three Red Tractor-certified farms in Lincolnshire. Once again, horrifying living conditions and extreme suffering are found. The farms raise chickens for Moy Park, the UK's second largest chicken supplier for major retailers like McDonald's and Tesco.
- What is foie gras? It's simply a delicacy not so delicate for long-necked birds including ducks and geese. Every year, millions of these birds are confined to tiny cages, and suffer a very cruel and painful process called gavage, which involves force-feeding them with a thick corn porridge through a metal tube that is violently rammed into their throats. All so that their often diseased livers can be as fatty as possible and be sold worldwide as foie gras. This video details all the atrocities regarding the so-called "delicacy".
- Animal Equality's new campaign called Jalisco Without Cruelty has been launched, designed to change animal protection laws in Jalisco, Mexico. With this campaign, there is a hope that lawmakers will pass legislation that would ban farm animal cruelty.
- What is the Blackhead disease? It's a disease that can kill thousands of birds in industrial turkey and chicken farms in only a few days. This animated video explains why, and how it happens.

- An Animal Equality investigation took place inside a pig farm in Catalonia, Spain, where pigs are found to be living in appalling and filthy conditions, eating food and drinking water contaminated with feces, and not getting to do their natural behaviors. Untreated injuries and death are common. The illegal dumping of slurry has also been revealed. According to the investigation, this is evidently a violation of the Spanish regulations that are supposed to protect farmed pigs in the country.
- In February 2019, Animal Equality investigators traveled to some Indian states and went undercover in several egg facilities. In these egg farms, many instances of animal cruelty against hens and illegal practices are found, including bad conditions, diseases, suffering and death. This is not only bad for the hens, but also for workers and their children who are working in these farms.
- Immersive 360° film showing factory farms and slaughterhouses through the eyes of a pig.
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is gonna make sure to let slaughterhouses operate at faster line speeds, due to facing pressure from the meat industry. And the result will only get worse because incidences of improper stunning and more brutal handling of animal by slaughterhouse employees will increase.
- For two years, with the help of supporters, Animal Equality has been calling on McDonald's to stop the worst abuses chicken are forced to go through in the company's supply chain, prior to slaughter. This fight can still be won if they keep pressure on.
- Several years since 2019, Animal Equality's investigators went back to a pig farm in Northern Italy, to see if pigs' living conditions have improved. There, products are being produced for the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) supply chain that claims higher-quality items from regulated sources. And the products are being labeled with "Made in Italy" excellence when packaged for grocery stores. But when Animal Equality returned to the Northern Italian pig farm, they found something which was opposite from excellent: Animal cruelty just as rampant as before.
- Animal Equality has been working undercover inside turkey hatcheries, factory farms and slaughterhouses across Spain, where chickens and turkeys are subjected to constant cruelty, pain, suffering and death, prior to slaughter for meat.
- A short video that details what fish are capable of, and what they are going through before becoming food for humans.
- Zema's slaughterhouse in the province of Cremona has claimed to be caring about animal welfare and protection. What Animal Equality has found is completely different from the claims. Lots of brutal practices have been found, including: Workers abusing and mistreating pigs with kicking, striking and dragging, poor stunning that results with animals being mutilated and slaughtered while still conscious, and animals falling from transport trucks onto the concrete without exit ramps. Each year, about 19% of all pigs raised in the Cremona province are sent to this slaughterhouse.
- An Animal Equality investigator went undercover at Simmons Farm Raised Catfish slaughterhouse in Yazoo City, Mississippi, where serious legal violations have been found. Approximately 21,000 catfish are brutally slaughtered before they go to national restaurant chains Cracker Barrel and Captain D's, and grocery stores Kroger, Save A Lot, and Piggly Wiggly. Many fish are kept out of water and left to suffer for a long time, before they are finally beheaded. Catfish, mudfish and turtles who are rejected are taken away from production lines and placed in buckets without water, before they are sent to a macerator where they are ground up alive so their meat can be used as feed for Simmons' still-growing catfish.
- Animal Equality investigators went inside clandestine (also called "backyard") slaughterhouses in Brazil in order to combat further deregulation of Brazil's meat industry. Extreme animal cruelty and horrific conditions have been found inside these illegal slaughterhouses and pose a risk to the human health. To make it a lot worse, slaughterhouses will be left to regulate themselves under Brazil's Self-Control Bill in the future, something that will put nearly seven billion animals into even greater risk of cruelty.
- Animal Equality went undercover on eight British chicken farms across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, where hundreds of crammed chickens are suffering agonizing deaths every day. Some of these farms are Red Tractor-certified and are operated by Moy Park, one of the largest chicken producers in the UK. And this is not the first time Animal Equality has revealed shocking cruelty and poor conditions in similar undercover investigations.
- Prior to the International Animal Rights Day, local activists in China went undercover in several villages, where wet markets are still slaughtering dogs and cats and selling their fresh meat to customers. Many of these animals were stolen from loving homes, and then shoved into cages where they await their gruesome fate. It all happens despite the opposite being proclaimed by media reports and statements from the country's government.
- A campaign against chick culling has been launched in the United States by Animal Equality. Each year, only in the US alone, around 300 million male chicks are cruelly killed in the egg industry because they can't lay eggs. If they are not the same breed of chickens raised for food, they are also killed by cruel techniques, like gassing, suffocation, electrocution, or not at least maceration where animals are sent to a meat grinder.
- An Animal Equality group in Brazil went undercover inside four hen farms and one slaughterhouse in São Paulo. Each year, dozens of hens live in overcrowded cages and lay an unnatural 280 eggs, while male chicks are ground up alive as soon they've hatched because they can't lay eggs, and therefore deemed unprofitable. Inside the slaughterhouse, hens are hung upside down, electrocuted and slit in the throat while still alive.
- Animal Equality used a drone that flew over two pig farms in Jalisco, Mexico. The farms are housing more than 89,000 pigs that are subjected to brutal abuse, unrelenting pain and great suffering prior to being sent to slaughter. As if it wasn't enough, industrial animal farming like this also has a catastrophic impact on the planet, and on the human health since many diseases are said to originate from such practices.
- From February 2019 to May 2020, Animal Equality went undercover in several Indian places known for their fish production, and investigated several fish and shrimp farms, hatcheries, and fish markets across the country, where lots of fish were found to suffer in many ways because of cruel and painful practices. In addition to the cruelties found the the investigation team, violation of child-employment laws were also discovered, because children were seen slaughtering fish.
- An Animal Equality investigator worked undercover P&G Sleigh Pig Unit in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a so-called "quality assured" farm where many pigs are forced to live in squalid, dark and filthy conditions, and denied everything important to them such as dry bedding. One of the rooms has even been described to by workers as the "Black Hole" due to housing sickly and underweight pigs. Piglets too small or too weak are cruelly killed by being slammed head-first into concrete floor, or getting multiple blows to the head by a hammer referred to "as good as any bullet". Mother pigs are forced to live in metal cages so small they can't even turn around, and are being artificially inseminated again and again, while many others have torn vulvas and severe prolapses, one of them forced to walk for over one and a half minutes before being killed. Piglets have their teeth and tails cut off so they can't bite each other because of boredom or aggression.
- An Animal Equality investigator went to a slaughterhouse in Zacatecas, Mexico, where horses are killed and slaughtered. Those horses wear yellow USDA stickers with numbers, allowing them to be identified, and have been confirmed to be American horses. Furthermore, secret footage from inside a slaughterhouse in Chiapas shows that cruel treatment and severe violations of Mexican Official Standards are rampant. American horses can also end up in that slaughterhouse.
- For the first time, an Animal Equality investigation took place in Mexico between 2016 and 2018, to reveal cruel journeys farm animals destined for slaughter are forced to endure. This is a clear violation of Mexican Official Standard, a law that has been made to reduce animal suffering during transport but is rarely enforced. Similar harrowing journeys also take place in the USA, where nearly 5 million chickens, cows and pigs die before reaching the slaughterhouse due to extreme conditions.
- Ten years ago, an American diner-style restaurant chain called Denny's had promised to put an end to gestation crates for mother pigs. But Denny's had done very little to nothing to remove and reduce gestation crates from their supply chain, and instead refuses to do further plans to stop confining sows to gestation crates that are barely bigger than their own bodies. These crates are illegal in ten states across the US, as well as the UK and Sweden. Unlike Denny's, major companies across all sectors (such as McDonald's and Burger King) are serious about eliminating the use of such crates in their supply chains within 2025-26, while some other companies like Chipotle and Shake Shack have been crate-free for years.
- Animal Equality's never-before-seen footage of animal cruelty in chicken farms in Mexico.

- Cambria Farm, a British chicken producer that supplies Asda, Lidl and Nando's is allegedly breaching animal cruelty laws. Chickens are subject to extreme cruelty, kicked and slowly dying. Several other chickens also suffer from ammonia burns, only to have their necks snapped by a worker. Dead chicks are tossed into waste bins, while live chicks are violently stuffed into transport crates to be sent to slaughterhouse.
- Animal Equality has been busy going from coast to coast to convince McDonald's to switch from chicken abuse to basic animal protections, since their March 2018 launch of their campaign called McChicken Cruelty. Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago are just some of the places where this campaign has taken place.
- At the opening of an exhibition in the European Parliament, Animal Equality's UK director Toni Shephard wants everyone to end factory farming.
- An Animal Equality undercover investigation took place aboard a fishing boat in the Mediterranean Sea, to reveal the fish conditions during intensive trawling.
- Animal Equality urges people to say no to Foie Gras, a luxury food that isn't luxury at all, at least not for the ducks and geese who are victims of the industry. The practice of making Foie Gras is very controversial, because ducks and geese are being repeatedly force-fed by having metal or plastic tubes rammed down their throat, just so their livers can grow up to 10 times its normal size, which explains the French name "Foie Gras" which translates to "Fatty Liver". The birds are subjected to high level suffering, bodily damages and illnesses, and even death for several of them before transport to slaughterhouses. Because of the Avian influenza infections having been found in many of the French Foie Gras farms, this poses a dangerous threat for the public health as well.
