»Älskling.«

Berwald whispered one word of encouragement reassurances and endearment after another. Doing his best to calm you down, to stop your heart wrenching sobbing as you tried to free yourself from Berwalds strong hold.

You wanted so desperately to scratch your neck, which felt so suffocating tight—like your chest whenever you took a breath—and wired together, bloody and bone deep raw. Freeing yourself from this sensation of gnawing pain. From the drowning choking.

You couldn't. Berwalds hold around you too strong—he did promise when Tino, him and you vowed the traditional vows of marriage and love to one another, that he would be strong when one of you two is at their deepest point.

»Älskling.«

Berwald tried again, shushing you ever so gently, every now and then, when a pained gaps ripped over your lips.

Three days now since you had collapsed into a feverish state of nightmares and reality loss—saying words in old tongues and pleading, begging even, for something you didn't need—forgiveness.

Your breathing had even out, eyes—once wide with absolute fear in them—shutting close now. You had worn yourself out, body going sluggish in Berwalds arms as sleep overtook you.

A peaceful sleep you won't have, would only last for a few hours, before another round of panicking screams erupt from you.

~~~

December. 1150 - Kopenhagen, Denmark

The icy hands of winter—the actual one which would last till mid-april—spiked with frost, completely in full swing covered the lands with a whiteness of something so graceful and yet so terrific.

Cold winds swept harshly across. Slapping the bare skins, which are left in the open and hadn't the favouritism of being covered in the thick fur, into a biting redness till skin was numb of feeling.

You shuddered out a breath—the warm puff visible in the cold—rubbing your hands together in hope of giving them a bit of warmth.

A warmth you wouldn't get no matter how much you tried. Only being dressed in a slight thicker nightgown—no real difference to the normal ones, as the one you wear had only a bit more wool in it—brings only so much.

»[Name]? Why are you sitting out here in the cold?«

You looked up from your spot, having yourself huddled up against a corner of the building. Legs drawn together as close as possible—the nightgown rising up, not long enough to cover your bare bottom and everything below the knees.

Snow had begun to fall, looking owlish up at Lukas—who you hadn't notice walking towards you.

»I–I I'm here–« you shuddered a breath, body suddenly twitching into a tremendous trembling.

Lukas crouched down to you, putting the extra fur-coat—he had brought along—over you. Taking your hands in his.

»[Name], how long have you been out here?« Lukas asked another question, narrowing his eyes at you. He knows you were probably hours of hours out here in the coldness, he just wanted your clarification.

»I heb gemocht a schlocht sach. Mei Kön'g is wüntend un' entäucht. Mei strefa i mu moch.«

Lukas raised a brow, needing a moment to translate Schurlisch—your native language—into his own. Hadn't it heard in a long while.

Your eyes going wide, realisation hitting you of what you just had spoke. Ripping your hands away from Lukas you gripped your hair—sinking your head down, curling more into your self—rocking forth and back and muttering, in a chanting repeat, apologies after another—all of them in pure old danish.

Aah, so that was the problem here. Lukas thought, pursuing his lips into a frown. Matthias had never liked it when you spoke in your own language—voiced his strong dislike and disgust about it and forbid you to ever speak such barbaric, inhuman words in his household ever again.

He pickes you up and saw, with the last remaining rays of the today's sinking sun, how blue your body had begun to colour itself.

Lukas brought you back inside, going into your private room—not the one you shared with Matthias—and laying you down on the bed. Covering you with much blankets as he could found, ordering one of your servants to bring some hot water and herbal tea.

Lukas had half a mind to go to Matthias and telling him off—wanting to know what right he had to punish you for something so trivial.

He didn't. Rather staying with you and ebbing your panic away.

July. 1545 - Kopenhagen, Denmark

How long has it been since you had been imprisoned down here? Chained to the walls with a steady change of cold water coming and going for a few hours—engulfing your body all the way towards your neck—and the warmth humid air which settles afterwards and leaving you in a mix of sweaty goosebumps and shivers.

Too long it seems as you have lost count of the hours and days. Without the sun, no chance of guessing.

You hummed an old tune, syllables hushing over your lips with ease, staining your hoarse voice even more—it was your only enjoyment.

It was entirely your fault and so you deserved to be in punishment—deserved this harsh treatment. A reminder not stand up against the higher ups—to bow and kneel obediently down at your King.

You shouldn't have disagreed with Matthias, your Husband—your only true King to serve—shouldn't have voiced an opinion of unnecessarily in matters at hands—insulting him with your humble, naively manner.

You—the destined husband to the great King—was a sole disappointment in existence.

Berwald and Tino stepping down the stairs to the cellar of imprisonment. They were worried about you, they all are, so they both decided to check up on you.

They know how cruel Matthias has been towards you over the past decades of centuries. Having been witness to such abuse more than often than they liked, though they—even if they wanted to—could never do something about it. Though Berwald coiled more than once with Matthias about the way he treats you—which ended mostly in a violent confrontation of fist- and sword fights.

»You think he will come with us?«

»The chance is slim, but perhaps he does.«

They both had decided to leave Matthias, had enough of his tyranny and wanting to get away. Be free.

Tino opened the heavy wooden door. A disturbing smell of everything unpleasant waved through their nose.

»[Name]«

Upon hearing Tino's soft voice, which sounded like a whisper in your blood rushed ears, you glanced at him and Berwald.

Visitors? At such......late hours? Why are your friends here? Had your punishment been lessened? No, no, that couldn't been.

»You shouldn't......shouldn't be here....« your voice cracked hoarsely with every word you attempted to say, haven't spoken in so long your voice was a mere rust now.

»Berwald and I talked, with Lukas and Emil too and we came to the decision that it's time for us to go. Away from here, from Matthias. We wanting to ask you if you want to join us,«

Tino, while explaining their idea of decision and conclusion, hoped that you would agree.

»The offer you gave I appreciate to its core Tino, but I humbly have to decline your offer. As I can not come with you.«

Tino visible deflated at your answer, nodding anyways and whispering; Why?

»Weil I ihn lieb, Tino. Er is mei ehemaa un' i bi seins. Mei Kön'g er is un i ewi'e loyalität hab schwor.«

»Still, if you ever feel like wanting to go away, into freedom, don't fret to come to us. We're always gonna welcome you with open arms.«

»Danke.«

10th of May. 1885 - Berlin, Prussia

Gilbert had become a great friend and alley of yours. You always enjoyed his company. He made you laugh with his jokes and silly faces. Tea time with him was pleasant to do, a tranquility and peace you haven't felt in so long.

You looked forward with delight to every diplomatic visit you had to do in Schurland—because that also means a visit to Berlin, where Gilbert is.

Schurland—its personification you are—was your country; an astray island of nation, located near Prussia—in between the sea of Stralsund and Sjælland—you originally had belonged to the Germans and Prussians, though with the conquer Denmark had done to you, you officially—for all its remaining history—you belong now to the Dane's.

The works in Schurland you would always finish eagerly in two days. Rest of the week you would spend with Gilbert.

Gilbert who treats you with respect and kindness, a contrast to how Matthias treats you. Gilbert you tells you with full encouragement and confidence, that he should reconquers you—freeing you from the evil clutches of Denmark—as you after all belonged to him or more like, you fit much better to Prussian Kingdom.

And you, who listen to Gilberts sincere honey coated words of hope, agreed to what he said. Deciding to make a decision on your own, for once.

Even when the thoughts—you so shamefully started to have, about a seeking freedom you never believed you so desperately wanted to feel—brought a jolt of jitter to your knees, bringing them down into a buckling—making your head dizzy—you did a mental grip onto your heart and will tell Matthias, with a confidence you begun to build up—thanks to Gilberts help—that you no longer wished to stay with him.

A divorce of independence or a sign over to Prussia is what you wanted.

But every hope comes with a price.

Today, your second last day of your visit—before you had to wait another whole month to visit again—was gonna be beautiful. Filling you with a thrilling joy.

With a full swing of happiness you waltzed through your room, singing Heinrich Heine's Lorelei with all your heart.

Gilbert was taking you out for dinner, a walk in the park before, then he would take you to the Opera—where a new releasing will be performed—Roderich will join the two of you.

Still waltzing through the room in slow steps, dressed in the nightgown—which still felt so astonishing soft, what did Gilbert said it was made out of? Wollseide? Yes, Wollseide. Prussians had such nice and pretty things, it makes you jealous.

Holding the suit, which Gilbert had brought you for this occasion, against your body—you dreamily looked at yourself in the mirror, ignoring for a moment your scarred skin and imperfections, to simply bask in this short bliss of endearing love you felt.

You had only closed your eyes for a moment of silence and in the next spinning seconds, someone grabbed your arm and spun you around in a flash.

Transparency: Ethical fur producers are typically transparent about their breeding and harvesting practices. They work hard to educate consumers about where their fur comes from and the ethical standards they uphold.

Alternative Fur Sources: To further address ethical concerns, some sustainable fur apparel brands focus on utilizing fur from abundant animals that are not endangered or hunted in the wild as a more ethical option for fur production.

environmental sustainability

In addition to animal welfare, sustainable animal fur clothing also attaches great importance to the protection and sustainability of natural ecology.

Artificial Breeding: One of the key elements for the sustainable development of the fur industry is the practice of artificial breeding. This means the animals are kept in captivity, reducing the need to capture or hunt wild animals for their pelts. This helps protect natural ecosystems from the potential harm associated with fur trapping.

Environmentally friendly practices: Ethical fur producers are often committed to environmentally friendly practices. This includes responsible waste disposal, efficient resource use, and measures to reduce our carbon footprint.

As support sags, Danish prime minister calls November 1 election

https://www.dailypioneer.com/2022/trending-news/as-support-sags--danish-prime-minister-calls-november-1-election.html

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday called a general election for November 1, seven months ahead of the end of her term in office.

Frederiksen, who has headed a minority government since June 2019, has seen her popularity dwindle due to her role in a pandemic-related decision to wipe out Denmark's captive mink population.

The early parliamentary election will select members of the 179-seat Folketing. Polls show the centre-left bloc led by her Social Democratic Party is neck-and-neck with the centre-right opposition, which includes parties that want to reduce immigration.

 “We want a broad government with parties on both sides of the political middle,” Frederiksen said as she announced the election. She admitted that “it is, of course, peculiar to have a general election in the middle of an international crisis.”

In June, a Danish Parliament-appointed commission harshly criticised Frederiksen's government for its decision to cull millions of healthy mink at the height of the coronavirus pandemic to protect humans from a mutation of the virus.

Frederiksen became Denmark's youngest prime minister when she took office at age 41. She reached out to other political parties, including the opposition, to help steer the Scandinavian country through the COVID-19 pandemic and later teamed up with the opposition to hike Danish defence spending in the wake of Russian's invasion of Ukraine.

She has spoken openly recently about governing with some of the parties that are part of the centre-right opposition. Frederiksen said on Wednesday that a broad government with some of the opposition parties "will get us through uncertain times.”

Frederiksen has insisted that she didn't know the mink culling decision was unlawful, saying it was “based on a very serious risk assessment.” A law was passed shortly after to make it legal.

After the report on the mink culling was published, one of the government's centre-left allies, the Social Liberal Party, stood up against Frederiksen and criticised her handling of the issue.

That party, which holds 14 seats in the Folketing, had threatened to seek a confidence vote unless Frederiksen called early elections before parliament reopens after the summer recess on October 6. However, the Social Liberal Party has said it will support Frederiksen in any new government and not join the centre-right opposition.

The culling of up to 17 million animals was ordered in 2020 after a mutated version of the coronavirus was found in farms in northern Denmark and infected 11 people.

Although there was no evidence that the mutated version was more dangerous, the government said it moved proactively.

Denmark was one of the world's main mink fur exporters, producing an estimated 17 million furs per year. Kopenhagen Fur, a cooperative of 1,500 Danish breeders, accounts for 40 per cent of global mink production. Most of its exports went to China and Hong Kong.

A poll published on Monday gave 50 per cent support for the centre-left and 47.8 per cent for the opposition. In the middle is a new party created by former Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who has declined to say which side he would support.

The survey by pollster Voxmeter was based on telephone interviews of 1,001 people over the age of 18 and was carried out September 26- October 2.

Kopenhagen Fur, the world’s largest fur auction house, will close its doors within the next two years in what could signal the beginning of the end for the global fur trade. Much of the world’s fur is traded via a handful of auction houses. Founded in 1930, Kopenhagen Fur acts as a broker for pelts produced in Denmark and around the world, including fox, chinchilla and karakul. The Kopenhagen Fur auction house is a cooperative company owned by 1,500 Danish fur farmers. The disappearance of this globally important fur broker is likely to have a knock-on effect for producers in other European countries and beyond.

FUR NOW 2017 : We Love Fur Style

“エコファー”という言葉が主流になるなど、ここ数シーズンいつにも増して続くファートレンド。

ちなみにこのキャンペーンにはWEBサイト『the wearefur.com』をはじめソーシャルメディアや『Vogue.com』でシェアされ、ファーストストーリーには1,300万以上もの反響があったそう。

そのような反応からも、ここでは「Fendi」や「Saint Laurent」、「Zac Posen」、「Dolce & Gabbana」といったとリュクスブランドが登場しながらも、ファーというものが従来の手の届かない高級品、というステレオタイプなイメージを覆し、若者を中心にアクティブで身近なデイリーウェアとして浸透していることが窺える。

こちらではファッションにこれから興味を持ちそうな、若くて親しみやすいアジア人学生をテーマにしている。

ここではエッジが効いたカラフルなファー使いをメインに、塗りっぱなしの壁といった不完全なインテリアにもフィーチャーし、クリエイティブとナチュラルのコントラストを生み出した。

続く第3弾ではゴージャスさとデカダンスを併せ持ったアメリカ人女性（11月上旬公開予定）、第4弾ではファッションショーのフロントローのために衣装をフィッティングするブリティッシュラッパーが登場（2018年1月公開予定）するそうなので、引き続きこの一連の流れを追ってみるのもいいのでは。

Fur industry faces uncertain future due to Covid

Even earlier than the outbreak of Covid the fur commerce was struggling

Europe’s fur trade is again within the highlight after Denmark’s mass culling of hundreds of thousands of mink following an outbreak of coronavirus at farms within the nation.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen introduced that each one mink can be slaughtered. Denmark is the world’s greatest mink producer, farming as much as 17 million of the animals, and Covid has swept via 1 / 4 of its 1,000 mink farms.

Officers say this “reservoir” of illness poses a big well being danger for people, and fear that mutations detected in mink-related strains of the virus would possibly compromise a future vaccine.

However pictures of mink mass graves and farmers in tears have been adopted by outcry after the federal government admitted its order had no authorized foundation. The agriculture minister has since resigned. On Saturday a whole lot of tractors drove into central Copenhagen to protest in regards to the dealing with of the disaster.

Farmers protesting in opposition to the cull

The proposed ban on mink farming till 2022 now has parliamentary backing however negotiations over compensation are dragging out.

Authorities say all 288 contaminated herds have been killed and so they have put down roughly 10 million contaminated animals. It’s believed the vast majority of remaining wholesome mink have additionally been killed. In a short time, Denmark’s fur trade has virtually been worn out. Round 6,000 jobs are in danger.

“It’s a de facto everlasting closure and liquidation of the fur trade,” mentioned Danish Mink Breeders Affiliation chairman Tage Pedersen in an announcement. “This impacts not solely the mink breeders, however complete communities.”

Mink farmer Per Thyrrestrup doubts enterprise will ever come again: “To have the identical high quality of the skins, to have the identical color – it is going to be 15 to 20 years earlier than that is potential.”

Fur skins produced in Europe 2018

The world’s largest fur public sale home, Kopenhagen Fur, has additionally introduced a “managed shutdown” over two to a few years till this season’s pelts and older stockpiles are offered.

Story continues

1000’s of patrons, principally from China, as soon as flocked to auctions held within the Danish capital. It has been an enormous within the enterprise, buying and selling 25 million Danish and international furs final 12 months.

However even earlier than the pandemic struck, there have been indicators it was struggling.

A decade in the past commerce boomed, fuelled by an urge for food for luxurious items as Chinese language incomes grew. In 2013, Kopenhagen Fur offered about $2bn (£1.5bn) of furs, with world mink manufacturing value $4.3bn.

Mink pelts then price over $90 (£69) every, however the bubble burst and final 12 months skins fetched solely a 3rd of that. Native farmers have struggled to earn a living – and it’s a sample seen elsewhere. China is by far the largest fur importer, however it’s a main producer too.

Fur producers in Europe 2018

Else Skjold, head of vogue on the Royal Danish Academy, says this competitors has pushed costs down: “Lots of new farmers went into the market and so there was merely an overflow of fur.”

There’s additionally vital fur farming throughout Europe. In 2018 there have been 4,350 fur farms in 24 European nations, says trade group Fur Europe. Poland, the Netherlands, Finland, Lithuania and Greece are the largest producers after Denmark – although the US, Canada and Russia additionally function farms.

For the reason that cull started costs have shot up. “Individuals have been involved that there is likely to be a scarcity,” says Mark Oaten, chief govt of the Worldwide Fur Federation (IFF). Denmark accounts for not less than 1 / 4 of the worldwide mink commerce.

Ms Skjold thinks international rivals will fill the hole: “They’ll make investments massively in increasing mink farming in China, I believe.”

Though fur farming is controversial, she believes requirements on Danish farms are excessive and one consequence of Denmark’s exit is a danger that animal welfare might worsen. “We’ll see farming in much less regulated and fewer managed nations,” she says.

Animal welfare campaigners have persuaded many customers to not put on fur

Mink seem significantly inclined to Covid and it may unfold shortly within the farms. Infections have been detected in Spain, Sweden, Italy, the US, Greece and the Netherlands, which is able to now ban fur farming by March 2021.

Animal welfare teams say that is additional cause to outlaw the observe, along with moral grounds.

“Fur farms usually are not solely the reason for immense and pointless animal struggling, they’re additionally ticking time bombs for lethal illnesses,” says Dr Joanna Swabe from the Humane Society Worldwide.

Over time, animal welfare campaigns have shifted public opinion. Quite a few vogue manufacturers have stopped utilizing fur and switched to artificial alternate options.

The UK banned fur farming in 2003. Austria, Germany and Japan have additionally stopped manufacturing and different nations are phasing it out.

Fur clothes on the catwalk in Beijing: Asia now accounts for 35-40% of fur gross sales

But as European customers turned away, Chinese language clients took their place. “In the direction of the 2000s you may see the Chinese language market develop. Fur represents that you have entered the center class,” says Else Skjold.

The IFF’s Mark Oaten says Asia now accounts for 35-40% of fur gross sales, with South Korea one other key market. Tendencies have additionally shifted away from the high-cost “grandma’s fur coat” to reasonably priced, on a regular basis clothes with small quantities of fur trim.

However the Chinese language market has additionally faltered. Financial slowdown had dampened client spending even earlier than Covid struck. Luxurious items spending “has actually taken a dip within the final three years,” says Mr Oaten.

“The entire trade has been struggling,” says Veronica Wang of OCC technique consultants, which specialises in luxurious attire and sweetness. “Even in China, this 12 months plenty of fur firms have closed.”

She says the issue is two-fold: “There’s a decline when it comes to demand and there may be the oversupply,” added to which Covid has made issues worse as there may be now nervousness inside China about buying and selling or importing animal merchandise.

Ms Wang provides that the urge for food for fur is altering amongst youthful Chinese language. Faux fur was seen as low high quality, however customers’ perceptions are altering as extra luxurious manufacturers make the swap.

“We all know that versus the earlier generations, these youthful customers, particularly Gen Z, have the next sense of social duty – I do see that pattern has began,” she says.
