What the petition asks
In light of the discovery of the presence of COVID-19 in mink, all the mink on Danish fur farms - 15 million animals - were tragically and horrifically "culled", massacred in their millions to stop the further spread of the virus. This needn't have happened...
In the Ice Age, people needed fur to stay alive. In 2021, most people in westernised countries don't need real fur.
In fur farming, animals are killed by poisoning, gassing, electrocution or even beating. Now there are also risks of viral transmission, we cannot risk human life for fashion and profit. Fur farming is both cruel and dangerous. We cannot risk ever having another situation like that again.
Please, pressure the Danish Government to ban fur farming!
