The fur industry’s links to Russia stresses the need for an EU import ban
Imports of goods from Russia have been partially halted by the EU following the invasion of Ukraine. However, an exemption was introduced over the summer – for Russian sable fur.

Large turnout at the protest in Brussels for an EU ban on fur farming
The European Commission appears to be leaning towards stricter regulations rather than an all-out ban on fur farms. A protest was therefore held in Brussels to remind the Commission that a ban is the only right way forward.
This is what Project 1882 does to dismantle fur farms
- By informing the public about the situation of animals. For example, through campaigns that also aim to introduce a ban on fur farming. Most recently with the European citizens' initiative Fur Free Europe.
- Putting pressure on politicians and authorities to change the laws that affect animals in the fur industry, at EU level. The fur farms must be phased out as soon as possible.
- By being part of the international cooperation Fur Free Alliance (FFA) together with over 50 animal rights and animal welfare organizations. Together we are working for a fur-free world.
- Influencing companies to adopt fur-free policies, which are compiled in the list called Fur Free Retailer organised by FFA worldwide.
