Norway has officially shut down its fur farming industry, becoming one of the latest countries to ban the practice entirely.

The move, which was first announced in 2018, gave fur farms until February 2025 to close, marking the end of an industry that once made Norway one of Europe’s largest producers of fox and mink fur. Animal rights activists have hailed the decision as a significant victory, reflecting a growing global shift away from fur farming due to ethical and environmental concerns.

The ban follows years of public outcry over the treatment of animals in fur farms, where mink and foxes were often kept in small cages and subjected to inhumane conditions.

With demand for fur declining and major fashion brands moving away from animal-based materials, Norway’s decision aligns with a broader movement toward cruelty-free and sustainable alternatives.

As other countries consider similar measures, Norway’s stance sets a strong precedent, reinforcing the idea that fashion and industry can evolve without exploiting animals.
