Prohibits fur farming.

Introduced·5/14/26
Introduced Text

New Jersey S4227 prohibits fur farming in the state.

New Jersey S4227 prohibits the breeding, raising, producing, and marketing of fur-bearing animals raised in captivity, including fox, rabbit, mink, chinchilla, marten, fisher, muskrat, karakul, and others. Fur farming is currently allowed as an agricultural pursuit under state law, but this bill would classify it as a disorderly persons offense. The bill also amends various statutes to exclude fur farming from definitions of "farming," "agricultural product," and other related terms. The changes would take effect one year after the bill's enactment.
