It’s #FurFreeFriday - and here’s the truth: ❌ There’s no “better cage.” ❌ There’s no humane way to farm animals for fashion. ✅ There’s only one real solution: a complete and uncompromising #BanFurFarming.

As we close out #FurFreeWeek, let’s be crystal clear: this isn’t the time for halfway measures or policy tweaks that keep cruelty alive under a different name. 💔

We urge the @EU_Commission to give MEPs, representing 1.5 mio citizens, serious consideration and to ban fur farming in Europe, ending needless suffering caused to animals and the economic burden placed on EU citizens. #FurFreeEurope #BanFurFarming

The @EU_Commission, still conducting an assessment of fur farming, assured that it will take today’s arguments into account, and that it will outline its plans by March 2026.

During today’s plenary debate, MEPs called on the @EU_Commission to introduce an EU-wide ban on fur farming and on the sale of farmed fur products. Whilst EFSA confirmed that these wild animals’ needs cannot be met on fur farms, this industry is also no longer financially viable.

Here’s what veterinary experts want the EU to do: ✅ Legally phase out all fur farms across Europe ✅ Ban the sale of fur from farmed animals within the EU ✅ Stop importing fur from countries that haven’t phased out fur farming The science is clear. The risks are clear. (1/3)

🐈 Spot the difference. We see none — so why does your Ministry? As the EU finalises its historic legislation on the welfare of cats and dogs, one thing is clear. Every cat deserves equal protection, no exceptions. 📣 #LeaveNoPawBehind #AnimalWelfareEU

This is the last opportunity for EU decision-makers to close the loopholes that allow illegal breeders to operate under the radar. I&R makes an animal traceable. This is a game-changer, as it. 📣 We urge the @EU_Commission and @EUCouncil to follow the @Europarl_EN.
