Postponement of Bosnian Fur-Farming Ban Angers Activists

Animal rights activists told BIRN that the decision by Bosnia's House of Peoples to accept an MP's proposal to postpone to 2028 a ban on raising animals for their fur was unjustifiable.

The anti-fur farming law was passed in 2009 and the ban was supposed to come into effect in 2018, but the House of Peoples endorsed the postponement last Thursday, using an urgent procedure to do so.
