The largest mink farm in the U.S. is closing on Friday. The owner of North America’s largest mink farm, located in Van Wert County, Ohio is closing down the business and selling it, according to the farm’s operations manager, Eddie Meyer.Last month, at least 10,000 mink were liberated from this hell of humanity’s making by the Animal Liberation Front.
This is what illegal direct action achieves – closing in one night what years of opposition could not.
No longer will thousands of wild animals be held captive, then murdered in the cruel fur trade at this location. The number of fur farms in America has dwindled from more than 300 in the 1990s to less than 100 today, as the fur industry continues its steady decline into oblivion.
