KO’s MP wants to ban fur farming

A total ban on breeding animals for furs and a ban on animal performances in circuses assumes a bill prepared by Katarzyna Piekarska (Civic Coalition – KO), the head of the parliamentary team of animal friends.
The draft proposes a long, 8-10 year, vacatio legis period for the entry into force of the regulations on banning fur farming.
“It is really long enough for those who deal with breeding to rebrand,” Piekarska said.
The project also prohibits animal performances in circuses, as well as proposes a provision for the so-called dog pensions.
“The point is that the person who takes dogs leaving the service, e.g. in the police, received an allowance and that the dog had free veterinary care. These dogs are often very sick and depleted,” Piekarska added.
