Ban Fur Factory Farming

Sweden's fur industry has been forced out into the spotlight by the group Animal Rights Alliance (Djurrättsalliansen) who recently published a year and half long investigation.
The group visited 20% of Sweden's fur factory farms and found rights violations including minks crammed into tiny cages, death, deprivation of essential needs, mutilations, infected animals and psychotic behaviour from been unable to cope with this existence.

Unfortunately Sweden is no different to other countries which have fur factory farms, including Ireland.

What is different is that both Sweden and Ireland are in a position to finally outlaw this. In a few weeks Sweden will hold elections and one of the issues deciding where votes are cast will be banning fur factory farms.

In Ireland there is an agreement between government parties to phase out fur factory farms within 3 years, but this is not law and needs to be pushed. Please send an email to politicians in Ireland and the Consul General for Sweden asking they ensure promises are met and fur factory farming is banned. (see below)
