What we achieved so far

Since 2014, Animal Justice Project has been exposing and ending animal cruelty and exploitation in farms and laboratories. At the same time, the team works tirelessly to end the exploitation of farmed animals and promote plant-based initiatives.
“We appreciate Animal Justice Project’s rights-based angle and think it makes them a great complement to the many mainstream organisations that take a more moderate stance.” – Animal Charity Evaluators
After our undercover investigation at Oaklands Livestock Centre, we secured the conviction of three calf dealers in our first private prosecution! They were fined, sentenced to 160 hours of unpaid work and banned from keeping farmed animals.
Our Gressingham Foods petition demanding action from Crown Prosecution Service reached 71,000+ signatures!

A bit about us

media

Hundreds of mentions in media outlets including The Times, Mail Online, MSN News, BBC, ITV, Metro, Independent, The Guardian, The Mirror & The Ecologist.

We infiltrated an RSPCA Assured pig farm in Herefordshire, revealing the reality behind so-called ‘outdoor bred’ pig farming. Pigs were left to suffer with injuries and swollen joints and others simply had a tied up plastic bottle for 'enrichment'.

A joint investigation by Animal Justice Project and AGtivist reveals four intensive pig farms in Northern Ireland, laden with deadly ‘superbugs’, connected to major producers Cranswick, Karro and Finnebrogue, and supplying leading supermarkets including M&S, Asda, and Tesco.

We uncovered systemic violations and a culture of abuse and neglect at the UK’s largest pig producer. From illegally ‘thumping’ piglets on concrete floors to kill them to a four-day-long attack on a mother pig, staff at Mere Farm showed a culture of abuse and negligence.

We documented relentless abuse and heartbreaking neglect over a 10-month period inside Somerby Top farm. Our hellish findings expose this ‘industry leader’ and its daily practices that reflect violence, suffering and utter disregard for our fellow animals.

We went undercover inside a Cranswick pig mega-farm housing 6,000 pigs and piglets at any one time. What we uncovered was worse than we could have imagined – a grim reflection of the wider pig farming industry.
