NOV 2, 2017 — A “Ban Fur Farming” demo will be held this Saturday 4th November, 11am to 2pm, outside ‘Vasa Ltd’ fur farm in Vicarstown, County Laois.

The protest is being organised by the National Animal Rights Association who point out that “over 50,000 mink are murdered on this farm every year – all for the sake of ‘fashion’.”

“These animals are suffering every single day, with no one to speak up for them,” NARA states. “Will you be their voice? Please join our campaign to shut down this hellhole once and for all!”

Footage filmed by ICABS at this fur farm – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvX1O9GvsQ4 – shows mink desperately jumping against the bars of the cages that keep them permanenely trapped. After six months, the animals are dragged from the cages and gassed with Carbon Monoxide before the fur is pulled from their bodies. It’s time for the Irish Government to recognise the cruelty and ban this shameful industry.

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear Minister Michael Creed / Taoiseach Leo Varadkar,

I support a total ban on fur farming and an immediate closure of Ireland’s fur farms.

In these hellholes, animals suffer a horrendous life of misery before being cruelly gassed to death. There is absolutely no justification for allowing this cruelty to continue.

Please ban fur farming now.

Yours sincerely,
