30,000 mink liberated from Russian fur farm, 3/9/06

On the night before September 3, animal rights defenders overthrew the fence of fur farm 'Pioneer' ('Severnaya Pushnina' holding, Luzhsky district, Leningradskaya region), opened the cages and released 30 thousand mink. The animals spread as far as 5 km away from the farm. Judging by the quantity of cages opened, no less than 10 people participated in the action. The public relations department of Severnaya Pushnina declared that they have reason to suspect activists of the Animal Liberation Front are responsible.

The damage to the farm is estimated at 10 million rubles (approx. $375,000 USD). Perhaps, the farm will not be able to rise up again after such a loss. The action is a serious strike against the whole Russian fur industry. Most of the released mink were of rare color types. The selection has been performed for three years and it cannot be restored.

The general director of Severnaya Pushnina, I.V. Parkalov said to the media: 'We hope this incident will not only be properly investigated, but also will pull more attention of administrative structures in Saint-Petersburg and the region towards the activity of such extremist nature-defending organizations'.

Fur from killing innocent animals is just inhumane. Please appeal to friends who wear fur to stop buying and wearing fur. If no one buys furs, the industry will die and there will be no need to set caged innocent life free in the wild, where they have little to no survival skills.

There are so many wonderful, warmer, easy care and more stylish man made synthetic fibers to wear.

Fur from foxes, cats, dogs, minks etc just suck and looks tacks, garish and ugly on humans.

@DVSdavis420 Many people make their livelyhood from illegal activities, so I gues law enforcement should just leave them alone.

Made me so happy to see those cage doors open and those mink begin to be set FREE...like they should be. I don't want to see anymore cages full of animals for this reason.

Vegetereniasm is the more socio-ethically correct option in my opinion. For the following reasons.

1. Science has told us animals are alive hence if they are alive, they have feelings and are aware and are individuals like me and u.

2. For those who argue its natural to kill and eat animals, yes I agree it is natural for humans to eat animals, but I'm not debating over if its natural or unnatural, I'm debating if its right or wrong. If unnatural meant wrong then u living in society is wrong.
