So they’re allowed do it still so long as they breed animals for additional reasons, beyond their fur/skin?
All they would have to do is start selling the leftover meat/bones and they can dodge the new law entirely.
Proper order. Nasty, cruel business.
Good. Can’t believe people still wear animal furs in this day and age
Good.
Horrible business. The worst fur farming case was one I saw was a Racoon dog in China totally skinned and in shock and still alive. I’m sure some have seen it.
About time
Rotten that it’s still a thing. Fucking disgusting.

Good. Now we need a ban on those pricks roaming the countryside on their horses, dressed up like gobshites with dogs tearing foxes to pieces and calling it a sport.
About time – if you’ve seen it they take the fur from the live animal – even animals that dont normally make any noise will scream out in pain.
It’s a start in the right direction but we have a long way to go yet.
Good!
I find it kind of odd people applaud this but wouldn’t like a ban on beef/pig farming. Killing an animal for its skin is wrong but for its flesh is ok? Not sure I understand this.
I am still mad about the environmentalists who ‘liberated’ the mink in a fur farm in Donegal flooding Inishowen with 5000 mink.
As someone who eats meat and wears leather shoes I am ambivalent about the closure of fur farms. We are not banning the sale of fur so presumably very little overall improvement in animal welfare.
Gwan the Greens.
Caged farming should be next among other animal abuse like horse racing and dog racing.
About time too, shameful it has taken this long.
Good
About damn time. Next: end puppy farming.
European anti fur campaigns have been an economic disaster for indigenous northern people who depend on fur for a source of living. Neo-colonialism
Yay more micro plastics!!!!
About time!
As long as they don’t just let them out to the wild. There a invasive species and should be wound down rather then thrown out the window.
> Over the years, some activists have gone to farms to release mink from their cages, including in Donegal in 2010, where up to 5,000 mink were released, many of which escaped into the wild.
That is hardly ideal given how minks are an invasive species.
This is a bit like grey hound racing in that it makes you wonder why it was ever legal.
