After a false dawn five years ago, once again the Polish government have voted overwhelmingly in favour of banning fur farms. But will it go through this time? And how do we feel about the compensation packages being offered for those who have made a living from this awful business? Dominic, Kate, Freedom & Anthony discuss this, as well as nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news across the world.
