“ We are glad that we can spare these animals a cruel fate and give them a species-appropriate life here with us at TIERART . So far , these animals have only known tiny wire cages and fear of death . We will now house them temporarily in adaption enclosures so they can learn to move around in a natural environment . We will do our utmost to help them forget the horrors of their life so far .”

The European Commission must then respond with an official reply , and the proposal will be submitted to the European Parliament and the Council . If it is adopted , it becomes law . So far , 15 of the 27
Member States have banned fur farming completely , some with transition periods , or regulated it so strictly that fur farming is no longer economically viable .
