A recent communique on animalliberationpressoffice.org inspired me to visit, document what was happening, and liberate as many mink as possible.
In an anonymous communique received by the North American Animal
Liberation Press Office, activists claim to have liberated the
thousands of captive mink from Stahl Fur Farm in Pennsylvania, as
reported earlier by the news media.
The communique reads:
[dear mink murderer stahl, fur commission secretary:
i saw your mink prison recently and was not impressed. you have
dozens of sheds but so many are falling apart. thankfully your
operation seems to have gotten smaller over the years. when will you
learn that animal abuse isn't worth it?
people like me will continue to visit you at 4130 pennsylvania 890
sunbury, pa 17801, which i found on finalnail.com. a recent
communique on animalliberationpressoffice.org inspired me to visit,
document what was happening, and liberate as many mink as possible.
people need to see the filthy & cramped conditions where these
territorial & genetically wild animals are kept up to four in a
single cage. and the joy that is possible when they experience
freedom.
when the cage latches were opened the mink jumped out to experience
their first steps in grass and mud. i hope most have escaped to
freedom and no more animals are ever imprisoned and slaughtered here
again. whatever happened after i left i hope it was expensive.
the fur industry is hurting. great. profits are already at record
lows and we can make it cost more than ever to continue breeding
animals to steal their fur.]
Video footage and images of the raid were included with the
communique, and are available to the media upon request.
Mink are genetically wild animals that roam up to 5 miles a day but
are kept in 10-inch cages on fur farms; their treatment is
egregiously cruel and violent. The mink are born in February or
March and are killed by gassing, clubbing or anal electrocution in
November, before being skinned, sometimes while still alive, for
their fur. The animals liberated this weekend have a fighting chance
at life; they faced a 100 percent death rate if they stayed on the
farm.
The number of fur farms in America has dwindled from more than 300
in the 1990s to less than 50 today, as the fur industry continues
its steady decline into oblivion. A listing of all known fur farms
in North America, is available here:
