Petition: Tell Romania to End Chinchilla Fur Farming

Footage taken by the Humane Society International (HSI) shows horrifying conditions on a chinchilla fur farm in Romania and how the poor animals are abused. Although 19 other European nations have banned chinchilla farming, Romania has not.

The shocking footage confirmed that Romania’s chinchilla fur farms run through the abuse and exploitation of these animals. The chinchillas can be seen trapped in tiny cages alone, where they are surrounded by their excrement. Many of the animals can be seen trying to chew their way out of their cage.

Female chinchillas are forced into a nearly endless cycle of pregnancy at these chinchilla farms and are sometimes forced to mate again only hours after giving birth. The females can often be seen wearing collars or braces to prevent them from escaping during forced mating. Thankfully, after the footage was released, members of Romania’s National Liberal Party drafted and submitted a bill to ban mink and chinchilla farming in the country. Now, we need to make sure that this bill passes! Tell Romania to end the violent and abusive fur farming industry for good!
