FVE, FECAVA and WSAVA position statement: Support for a phase-out of fur farming – FVE – Federation of Veterinarians of Europe
On 14 November 2025, the FVE General Assembly adopted the FVE, FECAVA and WSAVA position statement: Support for a phase-out of fur farming. FVE, the Federation of Companion Animal Veterinary Associations (FECAVA) and the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) call for the phasing out of fur farming globally. As veterinarians committed to animal health and welfare, public health and the protection of the environment, FVE, FECAVA and WSAVA believe that fur farming is no longer sustainable. Fur farming raises serious concerns regarding animal welfare and can have strong implications on public and environmental health. Therefore, when viewed through the One Health-One Welfare lens, it is disproportionate and unjustifiable.
