In 2011, Fianna Fail TD Robert Troy (Longford Westmeath) asked the Minister for Agriculture "his plans to include a ban on fur farming [in animal welfare legislation]". https://www.kildarestreet.com/wrans/?id=2011-12-08.1050.0

Please join us in urging Deputy Troy and the Fianna Fail party to support Solidarity's upcoming Prohibition of Fur Farming 2018 bill.

Fianna Fail has in the past backed a fur farm ban. In coalition with the Green Party, it agreed to a 3-year phase-out; however, due to the collapse of that government, this ban unfortunately never materialised.

Earlier this month, Willie O'Dea TD (Fianna Fail, Limerick City), said the party will review Solidarity's bill when it is published, stating "I understand your concerns regarding the practices of fur farming." Seán Haughey TD (Fianna Fail, Dublin Bay North) has previously asked the Minister for Agriculture "if he will consider revoking licences" for fur farming. In 2013, Stephen Donnelly TD (former Social Democrats TD and now Fianna Fail) supported an amendment to the Animal Health and Welfare Bill which sought to outlaw fur farming.

On Ireland's three remaining fur farms, tens of thousands of mink are permanently caged and at six months of age, they are pulled from the cages and poisoned to death with Carbon Monoxide before the fur is pulled from their bones. See video links below. It is time for Ireland to join the growing list of countries in the EU and around the world which have banned fur farming.

ACTION ALERT

Urge Robert Troy TD and Fianna Fail to pledge support for a ban on fur farming.
