600 Mink Liberated from Jerry Marr Mink Farm in Washington (Delayed Report)

Now the nightmarish cycle continues as the remaining 200 something fur farms in the US prepare to grow their herd. Mink kits are born in late spring early summer and once they are able to consume solid food, they are taken from their mother and siblings where they live their 7 month life until they are killed by snapped necks, gas, or electrocution. Each individual sentient being exists in one of many cages on one of many rows in one of several barns until they are killed, pelted, and turned into high fashion garments. Unless someone like you becomes the animal liberationist, giving American wildlife salvation while dealing blows to the dying industry.These are native predators, and these farms usually sit atop their historic habitat.

Something for potential activists to consider is these animals are full grown by late August or September and are killed for their fur in late November or December. Whenever their fur is developed enough to bring the most profit to farmers. Animals released once they are maturing are probably unable to survive on their own. Potential activists should consider the months of September through November for action.

These actions are very simple and often all thats needed is the will to act on behalf of innocent animals, problem solving, and imagination which is usually stolen when we turn our fight over to compromising organizations.

To Earth First!ers and others fighting on behalf of wild places, consider the fur industry’s attempted domestication of wildlife. If we oppose domestication of wild lands, we should oppose domestication of wild life. Plus natural predators will always play a vital role in the ecosystem. The link between fighting for wild animals and wild places is obvious.

“now you must take the risk rather than cheer others who have walked before you”

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 innocent, non-human animals.
