Take Action to End Mink Fur Farming

A growing body of science indicates that mink on fur farms incubate respiratory diseases that can be passed to humans. The crowded conditions on fur farms, where wire cages are packed together and the mink are highly stressed, heighten the risk of disease spread. Please urge your representative to cosponsor the Mink VIRUS Act (H.R. 2185) to protect both mink and human health. This legislation would phase out mink farming in the United States over one year and establish a grant program to reimburse mink farmers for the full value of their farm so that they’re able to transition to another industry.
