Press release from Bont voor Dieren. Amsterdam/The Hague, June 30th 2009 – A majority in Dutch Parliament today voted for a ban on the production of mink fur on ethical grounds. The ban, to come in effect in 2018, has to take one last hurdle: to be approved by the Dutch Senate...

I believe the option was between a 15 year phase out or paying existing farmers a bunch of money as compensation. Hopefully they'll get out of the biz sooner. The writing in on the wall - they are not wanted.

Fur Free Retailer More good news! Denmark recently passed a ban on fox farming! The ban was passed based on the fact that fox farming is unethical. Well duh! There will be a phase out period of 15 years and 8 years depending on the size of the farms - but the end is in sight!

Hopefully the human population as a whole is evolving into a more compassionate race. Until that happens, we will never be able to live peacefully together.
