an order to prohibit breeding or importing a popular

companies protested loudly, claiming they should have
the right to torture animals for the sake of selling
clothing.</B></A> This month though, Bulgaria's
Supreme Administrative Court upheld the country's ban on
fur farming — <B>meaning profit-obsessed companies
failed, and the animals won!</B><BR><BR>Fur farming is
<B>incredibly distressing</B> to the captive animals
involved. Mink are locked into tiny, dirty, feces-filled
cages. In some cases, <B>living mink have been left
alongside the rotting corpses of their fallen
comrades.</B> Unsurprisingly, this results in
infections, disease, pain, and horrible suffering. Some
recordings have even captured disturbing video of the
animals <B>self-maiming in distress.</B><BR><BR><B>Once
they are old enough to have produced "enough" fur, they
are sent to gas chambers. After they are dead, their
furs are cut from their bodies</B> and sold to become
clothing.<BR><BR>Luckily, because of the Bulgarian
government, the country's last mink farm closed in
January 2025. It was able to breed around 129,000 mink
per year. Now, mink will be safe from this and other
farms.<BR><BR><B>We must ensure that more member states
in the EU protect mink from cruelty and death as well!
