Some Norwegian fur farms let animals suffer with injuries, according to Network for Animal Freedom, an animal rights activists' group.
The group said after secretly videotaping dozens of farms it was uncovered that suffering from bites, killing of puppies and untreated wounds are prevalent in norwegian fur farms. The documentation also shows serious mental disorders on the farm animals, such as apathy, stereotypical movements etc.
The network has demanded a ban on furfarming.
The group carried out inspections at nearly 50 fur farms and have documentary evidence of torture.
The group's investigations found that regulations were rarely followed at the farms. The sufferings were the same everywhere. Contrary to the claims by the government and the fur industry that regulations ensure the wellbeing of the animals, the investigation shows this is a false claim used to fool the world.
In 2008 also, the group uncovered shocking conditions at more then 100 Norwegian fur farms. Images of animals in bare mesh-wire cages, missing bodyparts and untreated wounds gave the world an insight into the everyday life of fur animals.
In the spring of 2009 the Norwegian food safety authority inspected 73 per cent of the 331 Norwegian fur farms. The Norwegian food safety authority presented their findings in June 2009. Despite harsh critique of the conditions of the farms, the minister of agriculture and food Lars Peder Brekk said he was happy about the results of the inspections.
