Romanian Parliament voted to end fur farming in the country, a landmark ruling that will see the country's mink and chinchilla fur farms shuttered by January 2027. This monumental victory comes after years of activism by animal rights activists and nearly two years of political debate surrounding the topic. This victory makes Romania the 22nd country in Europe to put an end to fur farming and the 16th EU member state to do so. Proof that relentless activism can reap rewards and save animals! 

Fur-farming has faced a steady decline around the world as activism surrounding the topic has been relentless. Undercover investigations of fur-farming facilities has shown us the horrors those innocent animals endure when being bred for fur. Crammed cages, feces and urine laden living conditions, lack of access to proper food or water, injuries or skin conditions left untreated leaving animals to suffer in agony before they're slaughtered. These investigations reminded us that these animals are already being forced to give their lives for fur, and yet we treat them as nothing more than trash leading up to their slaughter.

The images of innocent animals covered in feces, showing serious signs of distress, or left with untreated welts, rashes, or injuries, reminds us of the lack of necessity surrounding fur. While one might argue in defense of eating animals, there is simply no logical defense of the cruelty to animals when discussing fur. With the plethora of synthetic materials available to us, skinning tortured animals for clothing is outdated, cruel, and unnecessary. Once seen as a symbol of status, we know too much now about the cruelty behind the clothing to see it the same way. Look at any survey done in almost any country and you'll see that a larger majority of people support a ban on fur farming.

Congratulations to Romania for making the right choice and ending the barbaric and cruel fur industry. Fur is far from fashion, it's animal cruelty and nothing more. We're on track to see this industry wiped out altogether! Let's do this <3
