Fur Farm in Ontario Canada busted for Animal Cruelty

Millbank Fur Farm in Ontario, Canada has been charged with 14 counts of animal cruelty after an investigation that began last year. The investigation conducted by International animal rights group Last Chance For Animals, exposed severe cases of neglect, filthy living conditions, and a lack of adequate food / shelter for the minks on the property.

First off, I truly hope they are convicted of every count of cruelty because that's what they deserve. Secondly, is anyone surprised by this? Canada has a poor track record when it comes to animal rights just looking at the seal hunt, bestiality technically being legal, and a true lack of protections for farm animals. Canada has a long way to go before anyone associates it with animal rights. That aside, fur farming is legitimately the worst industry of all of the industries that exploit animals. These poor babies are bred to skin and throw away. Mink / fox meat is not consumed, therefore, this industry literally profits off of skinning these animals for stupid coats or scarves. 

These animals often live in squalor, are riddled with sores and disease, and are neglected until the very minute they are skinned. Their entire lives are filled with fear and stress until the very end. All of this unnecessary stress and torture are for ridiculous novelty items. When you consider that there are so many other options when it comes to materials for clothing, coats, gloves, and scarves, it's appalling to me that animals are used for fur. This is a shining example of human greed and humans exerting their dominance over other species, taking from them what we believe we deserve. 

It's time to ban fur. Big name fashion labels that once relied on fur are now turning their backs on it. Countries around the world are banning fur farming, recognizing it as unnecessary. With all of this, Canada continues to support an industry like this, blindly supporting the torture, neglect, and abuse, of animals used for fur. We must continue to share these stories, speak out against fur farming, and make our voices heard. 

C'mon Canada, when will you wake up?
