Norway Advocating To Ban All Fur Farming by 2025

The Norwegians are fur furious.

Starting Sunday, January 14th the advocacy for plans to end all fur farms by the year 2025 have been starting to take shape. They pledge to end the farms in which “the 200 fur farms that once made it one of the world’s top producers of animal pelts, killing an estimated 700,000 minks and 110,000 foxes each year” will be “phased out”.

The farmers will be compensated but that doesn’t stop Norwegian Fur Breeders Association president Guri Wormdahl from being “shocked to the core” by the news. While breeders are weeping, the animal rights activists are celebrating this victory. Although “Norwegian animal rights agency Noah has, however, criticized the decision to wait so long for the ban to come into place, stating that “Seven years is a long time for the animals to be born and live in cages”. The organization is now working to make the transition period shorter”.

This decision is a long time coming; 18 years ago The United Kingdom was the first to ban the Fur Farming trade. It is wonderful that other countries are now coming on board with this ideal- even though France and Ireland have yet to follow suit.

Here is to hoping that the fur trade will diminish and minks and foxes can live outside cages. On the bright side, last year, Italy’s Gucci pledged to go fur-free by spring 2018.

Natural resources for fashion accessories are widely popular and interesting- like shark teeth, flowers, and new gemstones being made.
