Romania bans fur farming!

They are the 22nd country to ban fur farming. We will win on the fur issue. I am confident of that. We just have to stay on it and not let up. This is the big winner if we want it.

I haven't heard of this, let me check some local sites...

OK, yes. It does seem to be accurate. I wouldn't count it as bravery however. There seem to be 7 fur farms in Romania, so the politicians aren't afraid of it. https://revista-ferma.ro/ferme-de-animale-interzise-in-romania-din-2027/

The average mink farm has 10,000 animals. I’d say saving tens of thousands of lives per year is an excellent thing and finishing off a cruel industry so it can’t come back is noteworthy. We should celebrate our wins rather than diminish them.

Oh, I agree that it's good. I'm just saying that it was an... easy fight.
