The Greek fur industry has been in decline for years
The fur industry in Greece is clearly feeling the decline in global demand for fur products.
2018 data from the Greek statistical agency shows a visible decline in Greek fur exports.
Nevertheless, thousands of mink are still locked in tiny lattice cages and gassed at the young age of six months.
The fur is not a cultural heritage
To prevent the downfall of the cruel industry, the
Association of the Greek Fur Industrysubmitted an application for recognition of fur production in the national inventory of intangible cultural heritage in 2016.
The aim of such an inclusion in the state inventory is the possibility of being able to describe the peeled animal skins as a kind of art form.

WAV Comment: Big Wow ! – congratulations to President elect Joe Biden, Deb Haarland, and Michael Regan on the award of their new positions which will overturn all the environmental destruction caused by loser Trump over recent years. It is especially wonderful to see Deb Haarland; a Native American, to serve with such an important position in the cabinet; with her department’s jurisdiction covering tribal lands and vast tracts of protected American wilderness, including jewels such as Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks.
Mr. Regan will be a leading member of the new, expanded Biden team focusing on reversing Trump’s environmental rollbacks and address the climate crisis with a plan for bringing the US economy to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
