Rabbits

Most of the furs come from fur farms, often from China (where there are no animal welfare laws), North America or Northern / Eastern Europe.

The animals in these fur farms face a living hell, where they are locked in wire mesh cages that they gnaw on in hopes of escaping. Some have no protection from the elements, while others are locked in dark rooms. They urinate and defecate on top of each other because of the stacked cages, which contaminates the water they drink from. Due to these poor sanitary conditions and lack of care, they often have mouth diseases.

Faced with trouble and stress and psychological distress, they develop behavioral disorders: stereotypy (mink and sable, for example, constantly pacing), apathy, self-harm, cannibalism. Due to injuries and / or infections, they develop disease or complete eye loss and body deformities.

On Western fur farms, enslaved animals are typically murdered with their necks broken, while in China they are beaten to death or given anal-mouth electrocution to ineffectively stun and then are skinned in full consciousness and thrown in a pile of dead animals.

There is also fur from wild animals killed by "trappers". Trappers set up traps with steel legs (banned in many countries) and wait for animals such as foxes or coyotes to be attracted to them. Trapped animals often attempt to cut their legs to escape this cruel device. When the trapper returns to the trap (often after the animal has been trapped there for 2 or 3 days), they shoot or baton the animal to death. A notable example of a brand that uses the trapping method is Canada Goose, whose jackets use real coyote fur (as well as down filling).

As in many farms, a worker beat rabbits with a metal pipe and cut off their heads while they were still conscious. It also shows chinchillas being electrocuted, neck fractures and other horrors.

Some rabbits are still alive and wince when they are beheaded by a worker, splashing their blood on the ground and throwing their heads into baskets filled with the heads of their fellows, all in front of other rabbits, trembling with fear. terror. When, for example, a worker does not properly place electrodes on a chinchilla, the animal cries, wincers, and then convulses for more than a minute before becoming still. Then the worker breaks his neck.
