In reply to the unknown commentor!. We still need clothing, and many people consider fur to be an ethical and practical choice.

In reply to Jessica Campos. If you compare humans with animals in this way, surely the important question is why humans are alone in the entire animal kingdom for wearing clothes. True, non-human animals don't wear people's skin, but they don't wear anything else either.

Animals deserve so much better than this. WHAT is the itch to WEAR stolen skin… This is ridiculous. You dont see animals wearing peoples skin…
Only someone so selfish would flaunt an innocent animals skin so proudly…

In reply to Alphonsine Comeau. We are at our cabin and watched a female mink move 4 kits from one area to another, a week later another neighbor saw same thing about 1/2mile from us. I think was same female she kept to shore line. After looking at your setup for your mink they have much better odds to survive, good work. A natural renewable resource.

These mink farmers are awesome people, but then again I may be biased because I grew up next door to some of the farmers. They are a hearty bunch of people who care so passionately for the animals in their care, work such endless hours and are normal healthy people, with a passion for the mink industry. I went to school with some of the owners of the bigger ranches and they are awesome people, kudos to you all.

About it being insulting to be accused of cruelty – that is very true. After working a 12+ hour day, you stay a bit late to go the extra mile. Then you come home to news reports of eco-terrorists “freeing” mink to starve in the wild.
