Animal Writings

In the wild, mink spend half their time in the water and run freely on large tracts of ground. In a 10-inch by 24-inch cage, mink go crazy from the confinement, resorting to neurotic swaying, tail-biting, and self-mutilation, to fight of the madness of having nothing to do and no space in which to move—their entire lives. Minks' genetic problems from intensive industry breeding include deafness, "screw neck" disease, and weakened immune systems.

Fur "farms" are just another type of factory farm, another type of concentration camp for animals.
