SAVE MORE THAN 100,000 ANIMALS! Stop Fur-Farming Complex From Being Built in Norway
While fur farming has been banned in the UK, Norway’s Hå Municipality and Norwegian fur farmers are planning to build a massive fur-farming complex in Rogaland, in the western part of Norway. The complex would be the largest in Norway and would house more than 110,000 animals.
This is despite the fact that the majority of Norwegians are against fur farming and, according to Norwegian animal rights group NOAH, a Norwegian court has ruled that fur farming is unethical.
Animals on fur farms suffer severe confinement and deprivation of all that is natural to them. Fur-farmed animals are often seen bobbing their heads and pacing in their dirty cages—disturbing, repetitive behaviour that is a sign of severe psychological distress.
Several fur farmers have shown interest in the complex but are seeking government support.
Please contact Hå Municipality to politely lodge your protest, and encourage your friends and family to do the same:

Please also contact Teknisk Etat (The document distribution centre responsible for regulation of the land that would be used for the complex):

Please also contact the head municipal planning officer for Hå commune:
