Activists from the organisation Animal Equality have filmed the traditional "becerradas", small village festivals where young bulls and calves are mercilessly taunted, hit, speared and finally killed by locals for the amusement of the town.

We have infiltrated the fourth largest pig farming sector in the world - only behind the USA, China and Germany - and recorded, amongst other events, how workers routinely kill pigs by slamming them against the floor or how pigs are hit, kicked or have fingers thrust into their eyes to force them to stand or walk. 

Animal Equality presents an exhaustive investigation into Spanish pig farms, documenting the lives and deaths of pigs over a period of more than two years - from August 2007 until May 2010 - on farms and in slaughterhouses throughout Spain.

Eleven Animal Equality activists have staged a protest in front of the Finnish Embassy in Madrid (Spain) against the fur industry, calling for the abolition of all fur farms and advocating animal rights. While holding placards showing images of the Finnish fur farms obtained during a recent investigation, the activists explained to the public why fur farming should be prohibited and in addition, all types of animal exploitation.

An entire pack of wolves has been liquidated at a Swedish wildlife park after escaping from their sanctuary. The incident occurred just days after a controversial nationwide hunt to cull wolves.

The twelve animals had managed to tear down a fence enclosing their sanctuary and were roaming around freely in Skåne Wildlife Park (Skånes Djurpark) during visiting hours. The public was evacuated, and the entire pack was shot, according to the Swedish news agency TT.

Animal Equality activists display a huge banner stating "Bullfighting: Abolition" in Madrid's
main square on New Year's Eve. The banner was witnessed by a crowd
of tens of thousands and broadcast live on TV to an audience of
millions. Help us to continue defending animal rights in 2010. Happy New Year!

Animal Equality would like to take advantage of the festive season - in which the number of animals consumed shoots up - to present our latest open rescue. While some people celebrate this holiday period by eating other individuals, we have chosen instead to save some of them from this massacre.
