No longer will thousands of wild animals be held captive, then murdered in the cruel fur trade at this location.
Ohio: The largest mink farm in the U.S. is closing on Friday. The
owner of North America’s largest mink farm, located in Van Wert
County, Ohio is closing down the business and selling it, according
to the farm’s operations manager, Eddie Meyer.
Last month, at least 10,000 mink were liberated from this hell of
humanity's making by the Animal Liberation Front.
This is what illegal direct action achieves - closing in one night
what years of opposition could not.
No longer will thousands of wild animals be held captive, then
murdered in the cruel fur trade at this location. Numerous similar
captive animal facilities have closed due to the economic impact of
these raids in the past. There have been three previous liberations
this year: Tonn's Mink Farm in Massillon, Ohio, Pipkorn Farm in
Powers, Michigan, and most recently Scholten Farm in Michigan. None
of the activists responsible for the liberations have been
identified or apprehended.
The number of fur farms in America has dwindled from more than 300
in the 1990s to less than 100 today, as the fur industry continues
its steady decline into oblivion.
The Animal Liberation Front and other anonymous activists utilize
economic sabotage in addition to the direct liberation of animals
from conditions of abuse and imprisonment to halt needless animal
suffering. By making it more expensive to trade in the lives of
innocent, sentient beings, they maintain the atrocities against our
brothers and sisters are likely to occur in smaller numbers; their
goal is to abolish the exploitation, imprisonment, torture and
killing of all innocent, non-human animals.
