Oikeutta eläimille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oikeutta eläimille ("Justice for Animals") is a Finnish animal rights organisation.[1] Founded in 1995, the group engages in lecturing, demonstrations, distributing flyers and other grassroots activism, as well as civil disobedience.[2] In recent years, the organisation has published photographs and videos from undercover investigations of Finnish pig, poultry and fur farms.[1][3] The images have been widely circulated in the Finnish media, sparking public outrage and calls for the resignation of the Minister of Agriculture, Sirkka-Liisa Anttila.[4][5] Oikeutta eläimille has also reported several fur farms to the police,[6] and urged Finland to follow the example of fellow Nordic countries Denmark and Sweden and ban fur farming.[7]
