Pelzfarmen in Europa jetzt und für immer schließen

{contact_data~salutation}

I am shocked to learn that fur farming has not yet been banned in your country despite the inherent cruelty connected to the fur industry and the significant public health risks it poses.

Every year, millions of minks, chinchillas, raccoon dogs, and foxes are warehoused next to each other in rows of wire cages on European fur farms. Their urine, excrement, pus, and blood can can easily pass from one animal to another. Under the extreme stress of this unsanitary confinement many anxious animals resort to self-mutilation or cannibalisation. Resulting infections, sores, festering and open wounds often go untreated.

Following the terrifying spread of COVID-19 infections on Danish fur farms and the subsequent mass killings, avian bird flu virus outbreaks have been reported on dozens of European fur farms in 2023. As a result, in Finland alone more than 400,000 raccoon dogs, foxes, and minks have been killed so far. Detections of the virus in mammals, especially animals kept on fur farms, enhance the risk of mutations that would allow the virus to spread more easily to humans. Fur farms are breeding grounds for diseases and a threat to everyone’s health.

In 2023, a European citizens’ initiative urging the European Commission to ban fur farming gathered more than 1.5 million signatures – the most successful animal welfare ECI in regards to the record number of collected signatures. Additionally, several national polls prove that most European citizens reject the cruel fur industry. Many countries, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Israel, and the UK, have already shut horrible fur farms down.

For the sake of animal welfare, human safety and our planet, I ask you to bring forth legislation outlawing fur farming in your country once and for all.
