The tireless advocacy efforts and campaign work of Eco Veg Animals – Bosnia and Herzegovina’s only organisation dedicated to the protection of all animals – resulted in a law enforced to end the cruel fur industry in the region. Following the victory, as another fur farm finally shut down, 34 gentle, inquisitive chinchillas were destined for life – and death – inside a fur farm, but rescued by advocates at Eco Veg Animals just in time.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Animals Australia was able to help Eco Veg Animals with the rescue, veterinary care, and rehoming of the chinchillas through our emergency grants program.
All 34 rescued chinchillas have been placed in safe forever homes – where they will be properly cared for and seen for who they are, not what they produce.
