Compassion in World Farming and the Irish Society for the Prevention for 
Cruelty to Animals have called on the Government to ban fur farming in Ireland. 

The two organisations said the practice of mink and fox farming, which is 
legal in Ireland, is cruel and unnecessary.

The number of animals slaughtered as part of the industry is unclear, but 
CIWF and the ISPCA said well over 200,000 minks were slaughtered on Irish fur 
farms in 2000 and 2001. 

Fur farming was outlawed in Britain and the North more than a year ago.

not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing.",
