Big News: Norway Is Banning Fur Farming!

Big News: Norway Is Banning Fur Farming! Norway is presenting a total restriction on fur farming, according to a declaration launched by the Norwegian animal rights organisation NOAH this weekend. The country is currently the home of 300 fur farms, which reproduce and eliminate 700,000 minks and 110,000 foxes every year, so this is really a massive success for animals.

An exposé released by PETAin 2014 recorded horrific conditions on fur farms in Norway and a number of other nations and included video caught by Norwegian groups Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge and Nettverk for Dyrs Frihet. The videoreveals animals struggling with starvation, thirst, and untreated, bloody wounds. Many on these farms go ridiculous as a result of their confinement, and some are driven to self-mutilation and cannibalism. Dead animals are delegated rot, typically among their desperate cagemates. At the end of this ordeal, the animals are eliminated, usually in gruesome ways including anal or vaginal electrocution. Animal rights activists in Norway have actually been campaigning for a ban for several years. In

2016, NOAH organised Europe’s largest-ever anti-fur demonstration, throughout which more than 13,000 individuals marched through the streets of Oslo and other Norwegian cities. Lots of PETA advocates were also there to help spread out the fur-free message. Although the full information of Norway’s restriction have yet to be settled, all fur farms in the country will supposedly be needed to close down by

2025. What You Can Do Fur farming has been banned in the UK for over a years but stays legal in Ireland, where more than 150,000 minks are gassed and skinned every

year. Please compose to

the Irish Minister for Agriculture today to ask him to put an end to this vicious market.
