Polish Farmers Protested Against A New Proposed Law Banning Fur Farms

On Wednesday, Polish farmers braked traffic on the main roads with their tractors and left the manure-filled huts in front of the deputies' offices. Polish farmers protested against a new proposed law banning fur farms and the ritual killing of animals for export, for which they say they are going bankrupt.

Protest against the right-wing government

The protest was also held against the recent resignation of the Minister of Agriculture, who also criticized the legislation. Wednesday's protest is farmers' first major action against the right-wing government led by the Conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) since it came to power. Farmers have so far been the party's main electoral base, identifying with its generous family bonuses and traditional values, the AP agency recalls.

Fur farms and ritual killing

The draft of the controversial animal protection law is currently being considered by the Senate of the Polish Parliament. If approved, it will ban not only fur farms and ritual killing, but also, for example, the use of animals in circuses. The legislation caused a major crisis in the governing coalition because smaller coalition parties refused to support it in the lower house of parliament. President Andrzej Duda, who is close to PiS, indicated that he could reject the law. Farmers, meanwhile, are threatening further protests.
