The Finnish government criticizes the Dutch bill to ban mink farming |
|
Thursday, 31 July 2008 |
The Finnish government has delivered today a detailed statement, a reasoned opinion, to the European Commission regarding the bill notified by the Netherlands to the member states on 10 April, aiming to ban mink farming completely. A reasoned opinion is in practice the most effective way a member state can intervene in another member state’s legislation.
In its opinion, the Cabinet Committee on European Union Affairs states that fur production is an accepted livelihood in Europe. Recommendations concerning fur animals were adopted in the Council of Europe’s Convention for the Protection of Animals Kept for Farming Purposes in 1999.
The opinion states that it will be problematic for the operation of the internal market if the member states introduce deviating bans on pursuing a livelihood. Therefore, the member states should refrain from bans on fur farming.
The Cabinet Committee on European Union Affairs emphasizes that a high standard of animal welfare is required in Finland for all animal species kept for fur production.

Since the dawn of time, women have adorned themselves in fur and feathers and for almost as long, men have been debating why.
The female penchant for finery and fashion has spurred countless heated discussions among noblemen and academics. Women have been characterised as sensational, superficial and irrational beings with an inordinate love for ephemeral and fickle fashion. Marxists have accused them of suffering from a ‘false consciousness’ and feminists have pitied their sisters for being the victims of a degrading fashion propagated by capitalism and men eager to exploit them to maximise profits.
But women wear fur and buy Louis Vuitton handbags as a matter of survival, says Erik Hansen-Hansen, a PhD-scholar who recently defended his thesis on luxurious fashion.
According to Hansen-Hansen it is simple biology – it is all in the genes. While men can mate and generously spread their genes through vast numbers of women, women only has the capacity to bear a limited number of children. Consequently, from a biological viewpoint, women need to be more discriminate and ensure that she can attract the most able and suitable man to father her children.
In biological wisdom, youthfulness and fertility are a woman’s strongest weapons to attract the opposite sex, and fashion enhances the impression of both, according to Hansen-Hansen. So in order to attract the most suitable man to father her children, women wear fur coats, expensive jewellery and handbags to appear fertile and youthful and to lure, attract and seduce the most attractive men.
So far from being exploited victims of fashion, women skilfully use fashion to manipulate men to push through their own genetic strategy! |

The Animal Liberation Front is claiming responsibility for releasing 40 mink Monday from a fur farm in Jefferson, Ore., and for destroying the farm's breeding records, the Seattle Times reports.
In a statement released Tuesday evening, the animal-rights group said the mink would be better off "to die free" than at the hands of the fur farm. The sabotage was announced by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office in Los Angeles and attributed to ALF-Cascadia.
Fur Commission USA, which represents fur farms, reported Tuesday that all the mink were recovered and returned to their pens.But the Animal Liberation Front statement also warned that sabotage would continue unless the owners of the Jefferson Fur Farm shut down their operation. |

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - One-time pop princess Britney Spears has some explaining to do... Spears has been accused of stealing four white coats from designer Katja Berglund.The recently turned 26-year-old "Toxic" singer allegedly picked up the coats amounting to $28,200 for her and her friends when she left the Scandinavian Style Mansion on her birthday party Saturday night.
The party started out as private but it escalated to a birthday bash when Spears and her friends arrived. The divorced diva was seen partying with heiress Paris Hilton.
This is not the first time she had been caught stealing; just last week, she was reported to have picked up a wig from a mannequin when she walked out of a Hollywood sex shop. |
