For Immediate Release
August 26, 2025
Although an anonymous communique has yet to be received by the Press Office, animal liberation activists apparently freed approximately 25 captive foxes from an Illinois fur farm, according to local industry sources. Cages and fences confining the hapless animals were also sabotaged.The fur profiteer, Terry Littig of 896 Mueller Road, Bluffs, IL 62621 has apparently made the ludicrous claim that all but one fox were recaptured, as if these genetically wild animals were hanging around to return to the tiny, abysmal cages where they spend their entire short lives. All the animals were due to be executed and skinned for their fur within the next 3 months.
Twenty years ago, the same fox farm was raided by the Animal Liberation Front. From their communique at the time:
“In the early morning hours of April 1st (2005), our small band of do-gooders made our way through muddy fields and grassy mounds to descend upon a fox factory farm owned by Kerry Littig. Littig is the top breeder of silver foxes in the United States. We found you Kerry, and more importantly, we found the foxes you imprison, force to suffer, and finally mutilate all for your own profit and the vanity of others.
Only the breeding animals were on the farm, so we knew this wouldn’t take very long. After removing the majority of the surrounding fence, we entered the shed, removed all of the breeding information and finally opened every single cage, releasing dozens of foxes into the surrounding countryside. Strong Hearts Forward! the Animal Liberation Front”
Foxes are genetically wild animals that roam miles every day when living in the wild, but are kept in 10-inch cages on fur farms; their treatment is egregiously cruel and violent. Born in February or March, they are killed by gassing, clubbing or anal electrocution in November, before being skinned, sometimes while still alive, for their fur. The animals liberated last night have a fighting chance at life, whereas they faced a 100 percent death rate if they stayed on the farm.
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. A listing of all known fur farms in North America, is available here: https://finalnail.com/
