– I have always felt a strong connection with animals and I intend to defend animal rights always. These recent discussions make me think about what things I could improve in my own habits and everyday choices, the singer writes.
Vikman hopes that Finland will stop fur farming in the near future.
– I hope that the problems of power production will be addressed and the reality will be shown. I wish people would realize their own monstrosity.

The discussion about furs came to the fore at Easter, when violinist Linda Lampenius received criticism after appearing in a fur coat in a social media photo. However, Lampenius, representing Finland in Eurovision, wrote on social media that it was fake fur.
The violinist got into a tough conversation with animal philosopher Elisa Aaltola on Instagram on Sunday.
In his writing, Vikman refers to the discussion around Lampenius.
– I also hope that if a person makes a mistake, the conversation would remain factual and constructive and such that we spread awareness of how we can influence the inhumane treatment of animals with our own choices, Vikman writes.
