Fur Farms in The United States and Around The WorldFur Free Pledge, Petitions and Lots of Info at the Bottom of the Page.*Inside the Fur Industry*Factory Farms, Eighty-five percent of the fur industrys skins come from animals living captive on fur factory farms.(1) These farms can hold thousands of animals, and the practices used to farm them is remarkably uniform around the globe. As with other intensive-confinement animal farms, the methods used on fur factory farms are designed to maximize profits, always at the expense of the animals.*Life on the ?Ranch?*To cut costs, fur farmers pack animals into small cages, preventing them from taking more than a few steps back and forth. This crowding and confinement is especially distressing to minkssolitary animals who may occupy as much as 2,500 acres of wetland habitat in the wild.(6) The anguish of life in a cage leads minks to self-mutilatebiting at their skin, tails, and feetand frantically pace and circle endlessly. Zoologists at Oxford University who studied captive minks found that despite generations of being bred for fur, minks have not been domesticated and suffer greatly in captivity, especially if they are not given the opportunity to swim.(7) Foxes, raccoons, and other animals suffer equally and have been found to cannibalize each other as a reaction to their crowded confinement.Animals on fur factory farms are fed meat byproducts considered unfit for human consumption. Water is provided by a nipple system which often freezes in the winter or may fail because of human error.
Take a stand against the fur industry: Say NO to cruel fashion.

Are these pictures too harsh? Are they sad to look at? Think about it: if you don't research the products you're buying, you are supporting this! JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK, DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T HAPPENING!
A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW..........I'm being taken somewhere but I don't know where. It's dark inside this box. I hear a door and know we're in some kind of building. I hear dogs barking and cats crying. It's very hot.Someone is opening the box. It's the girl that found me in the street and brought me here. I used to have a home. I felt loved there. Then something happened. They opened the door and put me outside. Then they closed the door. I couldn't get back in. I don't understand.The girl is crying now. She picks me up and holds me. It feels good. I'm placed in a cage. It's not that small, but I don't like it. The girl leaves me here. I look around and see other cats, just like me, in cages. What is this place?Where is my family and why wouldn't they let me back inside?Another cat looks at me. He's very sad. I don't think he was ever loved. Maybe it's better that way.I've been here for hours. People walk past me and they coo and sigh, but they leave too. I think I know what's happening. This is where we're put when no one else wants us. Why did my family take me in the first place?Underneath me is a new mother nursing three kittens, or are there four? Why are they here? The kittens are barely a week old.The girl who held me comes back and opens my cage. She holds me again, and again, it feels good. She puts me back and gives me a blanket and some food. There is a tear in her eye. She's sad. She wants to help, but there isn't much she can do.It's dark now. Someone comes in and takes an older cat from his cage. From somewhere in the building, I here him crying. He doesn't come back.I've been here three days now. Everyday, they bring in more cats. Where did they all come from? I'm scared.The mother only has two kittens now. Two of them are dead.The dogs keep barking, but I can't see them. People keep walking past. Some of them stop and stare at me. Once, I was held. But I'm still in this cage. I feel lonely and frightened.More cats are taken away and they never come back. I hear them cry, and then it's silent.I don't understand. Why don't people do something? They have the power to stop this. But they don't. Don't I count? Doesn't my life matter?It's dark again. Someone comes to me and takes me from my cage.I'm placed on a cold metal table. There is a girl with me. She's holding a needle. And she's crying. I guess it's my turn now. I won't be coming back.PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER....we need to make this stop and make a difference and end innocent lives lost and put through this torture.
