Norway Bans Fur During Oslo Fashion Week
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 13th, 2010 in Fashion, Fur.
Norway has become the first country to ban the use of fur during its fashion week in February.
Oslo Fashion Week officials made the decision after numerous protests, including candlelit vigils by Norwegian animal rights group NOAH and collected signatures from those in the industry that refuse to work with fur, including designers, models and photographers.
Last year, the group Network for Animal Freedom uncovered investigations at several of Norway’s 330 fur farms which revealed animals not receiving proper veterinary care, even when those injuries were atrocious, such as loss of limb, tail and ear. This was one year after a similar report by the same animal rights group was released, alleging many of the same violations.
