🌍Iceland considers closing its last fur farm
While dozens of mink farms once operated in the country, almost all of them have now been shut down. Following an investigation by a Finnish photographer, severe animal welfare issues were exposed, including cramped cages, injuries, and cases of self-harm caused by stress.
By 2026, nearly all farms had closed, with only one remaining — Dalsbú. Public pressure to fully ban the fur industry continues to grow.
It is worth noting that such practices have already been banned in many European countries.

🇳🇴 NORWAY PHASES OUT UNNATURALLY FAST-GROWING “FRANKEN-CHICKENS”
Norway has announced a gradual phase-out of so-called “franken-chickens” by 2027.
Norway, where about 70 million chickens are raised annually for food production, has become the first country to commit to raising 100% of its poultry under conditions that ensure high animal welfare standards. Animal rights advocates have welcomed the decision, calling it a “historic moment.”
“Franken-chickens,” often referred to in Norway as “turbo-chickens,” are fast-growing birds bred through selective breeding to reach maximum weight in the shortest possible time. Due to rapid growth and extreme size, these chickens suffer from numerous health problems, and most animal welfare organizations strongly condemn this practice.
According to Humane World for Animals, franken-chickens reach their “slaughter weight” in just six weeks, leading to severe strain on their bones, muscles, and ligaments. Their bodies often begin to break down as they grow, and many birds lose the ability to move. Humane League UK describes their lives as “extremely short and painful.”
The animal protection coalition Anima International has been campaigning for five years to eliminate fast-growing chicken breeds in Norway. Several animal welfare groups are also calling for similar measures in the United Kingdom.
Experts emphasize that this decision marks a significant step forward in improving animal welfare.
