Activism at Christiansborg
On the opening day of the Folketing, Dyrenes Alliance was at Christiansborg to confront our politicians face to face, demanding a permanent ban on mink farming in Denmark. Our activists made it clear: mink should never be forced to suffer for the sake of "fashion."
And it wasn’t just the many passing politicians who noticed our demonstration, but also media like DR, TV2 and Jyllands Posten who covered the action.
Mink Need Space and the Right to Freedom
Mink are active, solitary predators who can never thrive in captivity. In the wild, they are loners and maintain territories up to 2.5 km², which they do not share with other adult mink. They are curious, inventive animals with webbed feet and spend much of their time in water. Mink hunt on land and in water—conditions impossible to meet on mink farms.
Currently, mink farming is only temporarily banned until 2023. But after that, millions of mink could again be forced to suffer in cages. That’s why it’s crucial to push for a permanent ban.
