Fur: from victory to victory, following Germany and the Czech Republic !
One Voice leads a nonviolent fight to defend animal rights and respect all life forms. The organization operates independently and is thus free to speak and act freely.
One Voice was in Prague last October with its partners from the Fur Free Alliance, and our work with the deputies was successful ! The animals will no longer be skinned for their fur in the Czech Republic.
It
is a very large majority, practically unanimous the Czech deputies
who voted for the ban on breeding animals for their fur: 132 against
9!
Thanks
to this decision, validated by the Senate on July 20 and on January
31 2019 all farms will have closed. Thus, 20,000 minks and foxes will
be spared each year …
The
work done with MPs with our Fur Free Alliance partners proves once
again here its effectiveness. On June 5, Germany announced a similar
decision. Last December, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands put an
end to the exploitation of mink, saving no less than 6 million
animals a year! In November it was Japan and in October Wallonia,
which explained its position in the best way possible, saying that
“the farms are incompatible with the dignity of animals.”
We
are still waiting for the decision from Estonia where 69% of the
population is calling for the end of the exploitation of animals for
their fur and where the issue is under debate between the deputies.
With
farms banned also in the United Kingdom, Spain, Luxembourg,
Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia,
Macedonia and Serbia (see map below), the decline of the fur industry
is clearly felt in Europe. France must also position itself! We met
the Minister of Agriculture last February. It is time that our
country, which plays such an important role in the world of fashion,
also prohibits this cruel industry!
