Activism

An accurate source of up-to-date numbers is hard to come by, but its safe to say that the fur industry has been hurt by the ongoing and visible anti-fur campaign sometimes featuring top supermodels by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other animal rights groups.

Whether or not activist efforts are the cause, the governments of the United Kingdom and Austria have banned fur farming in their countries altogether, while the Netherlands has phased out fox and chinchilla farming.

The U.S. has not taken any action against the industry, but the number of mink farms in the U.S. has plummeted from 1,027 in 1988 to fewer than 300 today, according to Weekly International Fur News.

August 2007. SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction requiring the Oakland Coliseum to allow two animal rights activists to videotape animals being brought into the Ringling Brothers Circus. The circus's performances begin Thursday and run through Aug. 19 at the Oracle Arena portion of the coliseum.

The order by U.S. Judge Marilyn Patel allows Joseph Cuviello and Deniz Bolbol of Redwood City to videotape elephants and other animals from the landing of the coliseum's north ramp.

Cuviello and Bolbol, who are members of Citizens for Cruelty-Free Entertainment, say they want to make the videos to educate the public and support any complaints they may make to law enforcement agencies and the media about alleged abuse. Bolbol said on Tuesday, "Having the right to gather information and document on videotape the treatment of animals is essential to exercising our free speech."
