EXTERNAL STUDY This is a summary of an external study
Over half of Finns oppose secret video footage of fur farms done by animal advocates even though 86% of the respondents claim to care about animal welfare.

This 2010 survey from the Finnish Broadcasting Company found that over half of Finns have opposing or negative attitudes toward video footage secretly obtained by animal advocates on fur farms.

According to the results of a survey by the current affairs program, Ajankohtainen kakkonen, from the Finnish Broadcasting Company, more than half of all Finns surveyed oppose secret video footage obtained by animal rights activists, while about 40% reacted positively to the footage. The vast majority of these respondents (86%) say they believe in animal welfare, compared with 15% who say they have little or no interest in the matter.
