Fur: No Christmas Truce for the Mink of Montarlot

In these farms, mink are confined in cramped cages, without access to water, while in nature these small semi-aquatic mammals spend most of their time in the water. During their short life of a few months, they are fed in these cages, then gassed (because the fur should not be soiled with blood), then skinned. To add to this horror that they suffer, it should also be added that the excrement from mink, their blood and their carcasses generate a real damaging effect to the environment.

We cannot accept that fur farms continue to grow on French soil, disregarding the dignity of mink and the gross mistreatment that they endure in such situations.

The decision of the prefecture goes against the collective awareness of other European countries. For example in the Netherlands the Supreme Court has upheld the law by banning fur production on its territory, for ethical reasons.
