*Fox News & Shocking Fox Updates*

Cold facts & secrets we are not suppose to know about. How foxes and other animals are being bred and raised, only to be tortured & killed on fur farms. The next few paragraphs are disturbing, but it wouldn't be fair to ignore the harsh reality, so I included them. If you'd prefer not to read the cold facts, please skip the next two paragraphs.

On these fur farms, young foxes (7 to 8 months old) are electrocuted, by an electrode placed in the foxes mouth and rectum. The foxes are awake for a few minutes & sometimes don't die right away, this procedure is then repeated.

Minks that live on breeding farms, are killed by lethal injection or gassed. They also die at a very young age. For more information, click on the links below.

  • Leg-Hold: Seizes & holds the animal captive, can takes several days, for the trapper to return.
  • Body Gripper: Snaps shut on the spinal column at base of neck, designed to kill instantly. Known as the killing trap.
  • Snare: A noose made of metal cable,catching the animal by foot, the more they struggle,the tighter the noose becomes. Many times,the animal will chew its foot off to be free.
