Dear Mark,
I was visiting this shop today, where five years ago I had glued labels against fur on the price tag of fur articles.
I just wanted to know if and how much fur is still sold there.
In the women’s department I found a lot of fur. No fur coats anymore, that’s been out of fashion anyway.
But a lot of fur collar, furry parts in jackets and coats.
This shop is expensive and elegant.
How can such a department store justify selling fur?
I had this thought, when I had an expensive jacket with a fur collar in my hand. And tried to find out from which victim this came.
I found this “information” about the origin of the fur, and I photographed it, although the saleswoman was very angry.
The Label Says it All
– Produced with ‘care and respect’ on European fur farms!
Have a look here on the links below at the care and respect which is shown on European fur farms.
The last video shows conditions at ‘Europe’s finest fur farm – as run by the Chairman of the European Fur Breeders – see what you think about the ‘care and respect’ undertaken.
This explanation is nothing but a shameful lie.
Like the “bio-lie” with photos of happy cows, who only spend their whole life in dirty, dark stables, but the meat mafia tells the stupid consumers that they only enjoy meadows and sun.
This company wanted to tell us that only the finest animals are used according to the European furry regulations.
Ready to die ? – A fur farm employee and one of her prisoners.
What in fact means: only the best bodies are tortured, massacred, skinned, even under the blessing of the European “animal protection” regulations, which for most animals nothing else is, but considered the lucrative and criminal rules of a crime syndicate called EU !!.
This outrageous lie about the “painless” origin of the fur, seems to me to be a defense of the fur industry.
The effect of education, the protests from the animal rights scene and the organizations is apparently so strong, that they should invent a fairy tale to calm the conscience of the furriers.
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
“I eat meat, but no animal has to spend his life in hell!”
“I wear fur too, but animals don`t have to suffer”
This is the “bio-lie” which in Germany is also called “Tierwohl”.
This is how the meat mafia works, so the fur mafia works.
The worst is that there are stupid and indifferent consciences who like to believe such lies.
So that they can continue with calm conscience as an accomplice in this industry of torture and brutal exploitation.
There is no animal product which is eaten or worn which is not associated with pain and suffering.
We did it, and we made this world for the animals to hell.
Everyone has to realize this at last, and it is our task to make this reality known to all people.
Due to concerns on animal welfare and ethics, fur farming bans are increasingly widespread. Next to that, more and more countries are phasing out fur farming or are adopting stricter regulations that cause fur farms to close down.
The first countries to ban fur farming were the United Kingdom (2000) and Austria (2004). In December 2012, the Netherlands, which is the EU’s second largest mink producer, passed a ban on fur farming and will phase-out mink production entirely by 2024.
In Croatia a fur farming ban is adopted in 2007 with a 10 year phase-out period for existing farms.
Slovenia banned fur farming in March 2013 with a three year phase-out for existing farms.
Other countries that banned fur farming are Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia
and the Republic of Macedonia.
The most recent country to adopt a fur farming ban is Czech Republic (August, 2017).
Proposed legislation to prohibit fur farming is currently being considered in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.
Partial bans
Before The Netherlands adopted a mink ban in 2012, fox and chinchilla fur production was already out-phased in the mid-1990s.
In 2009 Denmark introduced a similar ban including a phase-out period on fox farming.
Hungary adopted a ban on mink, fox and raccoon dog farming in 2011 and only allows rabbit and angora farming.

GRAPHIC – Extreme animal cruelty.
The reality of fur production. Every old Hag who wears a fur coat should be forced to watch this.
We have added this to our recent post on fur (link is below); but you need to see the reality of what fur farming, production and live skinning of animals is really like.
A disgusting video but the reality of fur production – it happens all day, every day.
Also see several videos showing conditions on European farms via the following link:

Now showing its age a bit, but still brilliant – “Echoes” is a progressive rock composition by Pink Floyd including lengthy instrumental passages, sound effects, and musical improvisation. Written in 1970 by all four members of the group (credited as Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason, David Gilmour on the original release), “Echoes” provides the extended finale to Pink Floyd’s album Meddle.

Dogs and Cats of Ms. Duda in Serbia – Would You Help Them
Hello, Mark. I hope you’re doing well
We are here to kindly ask you for your financial aid for the dogs and cats in Ms. Duda’s care. Duda (Dubravka Kokinović) and her animals reside in Nova Pazova, a town in the north of Serbia.
At this moment, she cares for around 30 dogs and a few cats and lately she’s been struggling to afford even basic necessities like food and medication.
She has been taking care of numerous abandoned animals at her home for years – some of whom were happily adopted by people from Serbia and abroad. She’s also looking after animals that are still on the streets of Nova Pazova.
We are also inviting all the caring people who are visiting this page and whose support would be much appreciated to donate via PayPal:
Here is an excerpt from the local veterinary inspection report done in late 2015. at Duda’s home where she keeps all her rescued dogs and cats:
Veterinary inspection was preceeded by municipal communal inspection that constated factual circumstances, but didn’t state whatsoever whether placing of an animal shelter was allowed in inhabited areas and in specific zones.
The ordinance about the conditions that must be performed by animal shelters and pensions – Službeni glasnik RS 19/12 – cited by the communal inspector does not specify in which location a shelter may be placed, but only the conditions it must fulfill.
Regarding Animal Welfare Act, Dubravka provided maximum protection and care for injured and sick animals with no assistance from municipal structures that should have been solving these issues according to Veterinary Act – Službeni glasnik RS No 91/05; 30/10 article 46.
Please read this short story about Duda from Nova Pazova published by Aleksandra Dudić:

SAV Comment.
We have campaigned for a ban on live animal exports for the last 25 years. The following is the official response from the UK government on the issue. The campaigning goes on at present and will continue until we leave the EU in 2019. With Brexit we will take back control of our legislation – free from the ‘do nothings’ at the EU.
This previous post sums up the situation at the EU – see the video footage of suffering animals presented to them for the last 5+ years. Their response ? – we can do nothing.
Then tell us that EU animals in long distance transport are well cared for, in accordance with EU regulations ! – failures of Regulation 1/2005 on animals in transport are detailed in the videos.
Who wants to be in an EU with all its legislation and rules, that when presented with complete evidence to show those rules are being clearly broken, we are told by response that they (the EU) can do nothing !
We have a good deal of hope that Minister Gove (above) at Defra (UK) will have legislation for a ban on live exports in place on the day we officially leave the EU.
Government has a Manifesto commitment “as we leave the European Union, we can take early steps to control the export of live farm animals for slaughter” and will be considering options in this context
The Government is committed to improving the welfare of animals. The Government share the public’s high regard for animal welfare. We are proud to have some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. The Government believes animals should be slaughtered as close as practicable to their point of production. A trade in meat and meat products is preferable to the long distance transport of animals to slaughter. Once we leave the European Union, and in line with our manifesto commitment, we can take early steps to control the export of live farm animals for slaughter. We will be considering the options further in the context of our departure from the EU.
Until negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the EU and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force. During this period the Government will continue to negotiate, implement and apply EU legislation.
We have made clear in Brussels that we support improvements being made to enforcement across the EU of existing rules on the long distance transport of livestock. We have also supported calls for the European Commission to make improvements to the existing EU Regulation on protecting animal welfare in transport.
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Petitions Committee will take a look at this petition and its response. They can press the government for action and gather evidence. If this petition reaches 100,000 signatures, the Committee will consider it for a debate.
The Committee is made up of 11 MPs, from political parties in government and in opposition. It is entirely independent of the Government. Find out more about the Committee: https://petition.parliament.uk/help#petitions-committee
