fur farms
Captive mink facilities
Fur farms are facilities that raise animals—typically mink, foxes, chinchillas, or rabbits—specifically for their pelts.
The animals are kept in cages until slaughter, usually by methods that preserve the fur.
Fur farming has drawn intense criticism from animal welfare advocates who object to the confinement conditions and killing methods: Protesters gathered outside the fur farm demanding its closure.
