a Maximum of two in each cage
Usually there are three to five animals in each cage. Among the proposals in the notice is a prohibition against holding two or more mink of the same sex in the same cage. According to the minister, it may measure to reduce the risk of damage from 8-9 per cent to 2-3 per cent.
Pelsdyrnæringen also get stricter documentation requirements, such that requirements become more equal to those found for other livestock.
For me, it is relatively obvious that pelsdyrnæringen must adhere to the same rules as other production, ” says Dale.
In the new rules it is proposed also that the animals are going to get more stimulating aktivitetsobjekter, better adapted to the feed and that it should be introduced more stringent requirements for the use of nakketang on the reef.

termination
the Message discusses a controlled winding-up of the industry, and going forward that it will lead to economic losses for farmers and probably also for the economy.
I think that if you prohibit the Norwegian pelsdyrproduksjon, so the only thing you will achieve is to push production to countries with weaker regulations, ” said Dale. He also said that even if the report shows that it is possible to prohibit the breeding, so it will be difficult to maintain the ban on import of fur and thus the demand for imported fur increase.
- Scandalously
the Country’s protection and safeguarding associations rages over the decision.
– It is unsustainable and unconscionable that the government does not processes the the industry. I’m shocked at how little they have taken into account veterinærfaglige council and the Norwegian faginstanser which states that it is burdriften in itself that is the problem. The cages are cramped, and the animals do not get lived out their natural needs, ” says NOAH director and veterinarian Siri Martinsen to the NTB.

Industry critical to the requirements
Pelsdyrnæringen even believe the heightened requirements provide very difficult conditions for the industry, if they do not receive more in public subsidies.
– This is the worst possible solution, and in conflict with what pelsdyrutvalget allow to reason about the real sustainability, ” says chairman of the board of NorgesPelsdyralslag, Bertran Trane Skadsem.
the Requirement of a maximum of two mink in a cage will lead to an average pelsdyrfarm will have to invest 3 to 3.4 million, according to the industry.
