Ban Fur Farms in Sweden

Ban Fur Farms in Sweden

The Issue

Around 1.5 million minks and 2000 chinchillas are killed for their fur each year in Sweden. Twenty years ago there were about 500 fur farms in Sweden; today there are only 75 mink farms left and no fox fur farms at all, thanks to the hard work of anti-fur activists.

The Animal Rights Alliance ("Djurrättsalliansen") has revealed widespread cruelty at the Swedish mink farms. Photos taken at the farms show mink that have bitten each other to death and cages containing the bodies of dead animals.

Their campaign page (in Swedish) includes a sample letter that is automatically sent to Swedish politicians, asking for a ban on mink farms. The page also includes the graphic content of their investigation.
