Fur Farming.
3:00 pm
Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)
I thank the Minister and look forward to receiving that report from the veterinary experts working on it. Very little reason exists to justify fur farming in this country. Economically, it is of extremely small significance. It raises animal welfare issues and if we examine it we see it is only a fashion statement in terms of the provision of animal fur rather than of any significant financial value.
