The number of fur farms across European countries is gradually decreasing, with the EU seeing a drop from 4350 facilities in 2018 to only 1088 in 2023. Key reasons for this decline include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, increased availability of high-quality faux fur alternatives, and growing public concern regarding animal rights, which motivates conservation groups across Europe. Bulgaria has successfully closed all its fur farms, with the last one ending recently. The United Kingdom was among the first countries to completely end fur farming in 2003, followed by Austria in 2005, and the Czech Republic had its last fur farms shut down in 2019.
