JAN 17, 2018 — There are renewed calls on the Irish Government to end fur farming as Norway this week announces that a total ban will come into affect.

Norway’s government has pledged to shut down all of the country’s 250+ fur farms by 2025, becoming the 14th European nation to phase out fur farming.

Meanwhile in Ireland, where just three fur farms remain, the government has so far refused to take action to stop this vile industry. Please join us in renewing an appeal to Agriculture Minister Michael Creed and the Irish Government to put in place a fur farming ban.
