Thirty-three MPs, just under a third of the Riigikogu, have pledged to vote in favor of a bill aimed at banning fur farms in Estonia. MPs from most of the parties represented have said they will support the legislation change, which will be put before the chamber for its third and final reading next week.
Annaliisa Post, spokesperson for animal rights group Loomus, said: "We are pleased that the members of the Social Democratic Party (SDE), the Reform Party, the Conservative People's Party of Estonia (EKRE) and the Center Party have already promised to vote in favor of the bill. This proves that the issue is important for all parties and that it is time to finally ban fur farms."
