About me
Abigail Penny heads up Animal Equality UK, an international animal protection organisation defending farmed animals. Under her leadership, the charity’s hard-hitting undercover investigations into factory farms and slaughterhouses, legal advocacy campaigns, and public awareness actions routinely garner mainstream media and political attention. Current UK campaigns include a push for a ban on the importation of foie gras made by force-feeding, a call for heightened legislation for farmed fish at slaughter, a focused effort to halt Scottish aquaculture expansion, and a drive for increased oversight and enforcement of animal protection legislation. Globally, the organisation also works to secure and end to cruel cages for hens and mother pigs.
