Stahl Fur Farm<\/p><\/div>\n

For immediate release
\nSeptember 18, 2023<\/p>\n

Although an anonymous communique has yet to be received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, news media reports that the only remaining fur farm in Pennsylvania, Stahl Fur Farm, was raided this weekend and 6000-8000 captive mink destined to be killed in November were liberated. The farm owners told state police that the farm was vandalized between midnight and 6:50 a.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Joseph Buddenberg, a former member of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and a current press officer with the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, said the act was \u201ccertainly consistent\u201d with the ALF, which opposes the exploitation and abuse of animals. The ALF most recently claimed responsibility for releasing 3,000 mink from a Wisconsin farm last month; last year, approximately 25,000 to 40,000 mink were released from a fur farm in Ohio and the perpetrators left spray-painted graffiti saying, \u201cALF\u201d and \u201cWe\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/div>\n

Mink are genetically wild animals that roam up to 5 miles a day but are kept in 10-inch cages on fur farms; their treatment is egregiously cruel and violent. The mink are born in February or March and are killed in November for their fur, leading a miserable existence for eight to nine months. At least now they have a fighting chance at life; they faced a 100 percent death rate if they stayed on the farm.<\/div>\n

Fur farmers and their apologists often say the most ridiculous things to try and mitigate their losses after raids like these. Sample absurdities spouted as fact include:<\/div>\n
