FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Poland’s fur farms could be in their final year in operation if a bill banning production of fur clears legal hurdles next month. And France looks set to follow suit. The Polish bill, dubbed “five for animals” (because it has five main objectives, including the ban) was tabled in early September, much to the dismay of fur farmers. The bill was announced as undercover footage from the largest fur farm in Poland was released, which campaigners said appeared to show “cannibalism, aggression, self-aggression, open wounds and paralysis of minks’ limbs”. “Fur animals are typically killed in November and December, so we hope this year’s cull might be the last, depending on when the law will take effect,” said Anna Iżyńska of Otwarte Klatki (Open Cages), the Polish office of the international NGO campaigning for the end of fur farming and trade. “We are happy because that’s what we have been fighting for the past nine years.” Minks are by far the biggest group of animals on Polish fur farms. There are more than six million minks on farms countrywide, 94% of the total number of animals kept for fur, according to data from Poland’s chief veterinary inspectorate compiled by the factchecking website Konkret24. Other animals include rabbits, foxes, raccoon dogs and chinchillas. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/29/film-showing-cannibalism-prompts-probable-ban-on-fur-farms-in-poland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
