Animal Cruelty in the Fur Industry
INvestigationS
In July 2020, the Humane Society of the United States released footage from 11 fur farms in Asia, the world’s top producer of fur. The investigation showed caged raccoon dogs exhibiting repetitive stereotypical behavior, foxes beaten repeatedly over the face and head with a metal bar, and foxes cut and skinned while still alive and clearly moving. Due to its graphic content, this video is age restricted and can only be viewed directly on YouTube here.
