Hungary bans mink farms in a preventive manner. There will never be foxes and otters again either
Due to the Covid mutated in mink, which is alarming the countries of half the world, Hungary has decided to prevent mink farms in a preventive manner throughout the national territory. There will never be foxes and otters again either. Announcing the novelty, contained in a decree signed on November 24, is the Hungarian Anti-Fur League on Facebook.
The fear, in fact, is that now that this type of farming begins to be banned in other countries, farmers may choose Hungary as a new location for their dirty activities, which bring so much suffering, cruelty and health risk, as shown by what is now called "minkgate", that is the Covid alarm changed in the mink of farms all over the world ..

Until now, the following fur animals could be bred in the country:
- long-tailed chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera),
- angora coniglio (Oryctolagus cuniculus var. domesticus),
- nutria (Myocastor coypus),
- ferret (Mustela putorius),
- American mink (Mustela vison),
- volpe d'argento
- polar fox (Alopex lagopus).
Foxes, minks, and nutria have now been removed from this list. The others remain on the farms, unfortunately. A half victory, therefore. The next step, therefore, is to ban all existing fur farms.
