We hope that this marks the beginning of the end to the fur industry. As more and more people become aware to the horror and injustice that is the fur industry, it is only a matter of time before the industry crumbles, and the cages are smashed to pieces while the animals run free!
All information about this recent decision is being taken from Norwegian news sites, so they are in Norwegian, not english. Here are some translated quotes from todays vote.
“Today was the Labour Party’s national convention in a controlled liquidation of the fur industry. The decision is a major victory in efforts to fur animal freedom. This could mean the beginning of the end for the Norwegian fur farming.
Both political parties, various professional bodies and all animal protection organizations support the requirement for a phasing out of the Norwegian fur farms. Now begins the final stage in the struggle to abolish Norwegian fur farms for good.
The work brings results after the Network for Animal Freedom has revealed animal abuse at Norwegian fur farms for three consecutive years, the debate on fur farms have become an important political issue. Today’s victory also reflects how much enthusiasm for fur animals has become.
Today’s decision of the Labour Party shows that all the activists’ tireless efforts produce results. Work for fur animals’ freedom has yielded results, and the fur industry’s propaganda will no longer dominate.”

There was a strong reaction after the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in late October last year revealed widespread abuse of animals in the fur industry. NRK showed pictures of animals with avbitte bones, tails and ears and animals with bite injuries.
Animal Norway and the Network for Animal Freedom visited in the last 40 fur farms from Agder in the south of Nordland in the north.
The result was thousands of pictures and several hours of video documentation of mink and fox with serious injuries and illnesses. (Warning about strong images in the link above).
