We Keep Fighting—Until All Animals Are Free
We’re not afraid to say it: 2022 was a wild year, in so many ways. In fact, it’s been so wild that we have way too many highlights to share with you.
One thing we have to mention is The Chicken Fight. This campaign has been running for years, and each year we save more animals. This year Rema1000 dropped the turbo chickens. This is a huge victory for the animals that we've worked hard for. We recognize and celebrate everyone who has put in their time, effort, and energy to make this happen. Thank you for what you do for the animals. As we step into the new year, the fight is not over. We’re still out in the streets come rain or shine, fighting for Coop to drop the turbo chickens. But if 2022 has shown us anything, it’s that we don’t give up. And Danes agree with our message. In 2022 alone, more than 10,000 people signed a petition demanding Coop follow Rema1000’s lead and stop selling turbo chickens!
Free Wings and Free Fins
In 2022, we unveiled a long-awaited project: the fish campaign “Free Fins”! Although the campaign hasn’t officially launched yet, in 2022 we hired a skilled full-time campaign worker. She has been researching, strategizing, and is currently planning the fish campaign’s launch on January 7. We can’t wait to see what 2023 will bring. You can read more about fish here.
Protests Against Fur
Is fur supposed to be a thing of the past? Apparently not, if politicians have their way. Mink farming has been made legal again,and we don’t understand why. Throughout 2022, we fought hard to end fur farming with gjort lovligt igen, og vi fatter ikke hvorfor. I 2022 har vi kæmpet hårdt for at stoppe pelsavl, med demonstrations across the country and on Parliament’s opening day. And we have been heard. We made national news coverage—both for our fur protests and other activism for the animals! Read more about fur here.
More and More of Us Are Doing More and More
Now for some impressive numbers and a peek behind the scenes. In 2022, 1,000 people chose to become members of Dyrenes Alliance, and many more became super supporters! It’s truly amazing to see how many people want to make a difference for the animals. We definitely feel something big happening in our association and the movement. Our team has grown so we can make an even bigger impact! We’ve added two full-time staff: our campaign worker Louise, a national coordinator Maria, and a new board chair, Victoria.
We strive to be more effective and save more animals. That’s why in 2022 we attended animal rights conferences, hosted and joined workshops, and our FOKUS weekend.
Dyrenes Alliance at CARE 2022 in Poland
We’ve brought activism to major festivals like Roskilde, Folkemødet, Northside, and many more. Across the country, we held 750 events—that’s more than two a day on average! Without a doubt, we reached hundreds of thousands of people—informing them about animal suffering and plant-based food. Nearly a hundred activists have ordered free activism materials from our website—that’s so awesome to see how much you do for the animals.
Lastly, there’s not much more to say than: THANK YOU!
We can’t stress enough how grateful we are for everything you do for the animals.
It’s crystal clear that society is changing. More people are eating vegan, more are opening their eyes to animal suffering, and more are bold enough to take action.
We hope you’ll join us to make 2023 an even better year for the animals!
