MILAN – Animal rights organisation PETA has taken to the streets of Milan amidst the city’s Fashion Week to once again urge the country’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to ban fur farming.
Authorities in the Netherlands have already outlawed farming for fur – a practice which sidelines the animal welfare of foxes and mink in the name of profiteering – after an outbreak of COVID-19 cases were tied back to such farms.
The message remains from PETA that industry stakeholders and governmental authorities must ban the trade of animal product because it’s proven to unlock viruses such as COVID-19.
