Zoodefenders under BP are organizing an action “Ukraine without flies”, demanding the adoption of a law which should rationalize the entrepreneurial activities in breeding, stockbreeding, the keeping of fur animals in order to produce fur.

This was reported by the Ukrinform correspondent.

“Bill 2360 protects animals from abuse and defends the right of citizens to a safe environment. He plans to close all fur farms in Ukraine until 2025, “said the organizers.

The Zoodefenders pay attention to the inhumanity of the industry, as well as to the fact that the production of fur is an object of increased danger: polluting the soil, bodies of water, air and posing a danger to health residents of neighboring colonies.

At the same time, the share of income from fur farming activities in the Ukrainian state budget is less than 0.004%, despite the fact that losses due to environmental pollution due to production do not have never been calculated by the state, activists say.

Ukrainian bill No. 2360 “amending certain legislative acts of Ukraine to improve the legal regulation of fur production in Ukraine” is not on the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada on June 5 2020.

June 5 has been reported to mark World Environment Day.
