EFBA : the European Fur Breeder's Association

VIDEO

We wanted to post this film because for many years, our opponents spent significant resources to show emotional and shocking pictures. These pictures do not reflect the European fur-farming sector. 
These pictures are usually filmed in an illegal manner and false!

By playing this short movie, we want to demonstrate that our European fur-farmers have to respect very strict National and European animal welfare rules.  Fur is a very delicate product and the way our farmers breed their animals affect the quality of the product.  Animal mistreatments… use by our opponents are only there for sensational information.

This is our truth.  We have nothing to hide and this is why we invite anyone to come visiting a European fur-farm. Openness and transparency are our key words!

“In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish”
