Denmark citizen proposals on animal issues

Overview

In June 2026 a Danish citizen initiative sought to capture all wolves in Denmark and relocate them to larger natural areas abroad, gathering nearly 12,000 signatures and aiming for the 50,000‑signature threshold required for parliamentary debate.

By mid‑July 2026 another citizen proposal targeting industrial pig farming under the Animal Welfare Act broke records, amassing over 94,000 signatures. The rapid escalation in support highlights a growing public willingness to mobilise around animal‑related concerns in Denmark, moving from a modestly supported wildlife relocation effort to a nationwide push for stricter farming regulations.
