Estonia To Ban Fur Farming By 2026
4 June 2021
Estonia will ban fur farming by 2026, becoming the first Baltic country to do so. The bill was passed in the Estonian Parliament with 55 out of 101 members voting in favour of the ban.
The country has been phasing out the practice since before the bill was passed. There were no active mink farms in Estonia by June 2020, even though the country had 41 mink farms in 2015.
Many countries shut down mink fur farms in 2020 due to public health risks. In November, Hungary banned fur farming of minks, foxes, polecats, ferrets, and coypu. The ban was announced after some minks tested positive for coronavirus in fur farms in the US, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, France, Spain, Greece, and Sweden. Even luxury fashion brand Valentino declared it will be banning fur by 2022.
Moreover, 75% of Estonians were against animals being killed for fur according to a 2020 survey.
