Hi Rose, ironically you are more &quot;ignorant&quot; than most people, so you are exactly our target audience. Farmed mink are never electrocuted or skinned alive. Nor do they scream in agony. Please explore our website a little to learn the truth. If you&#039;re hoping for a video showing these things, you may be able to find some animal rights activists willing to stage one.]]></description>

so disturbing this article is trying to paint these criminals as normal families as if we the people are too ignorant to see the truth for ourselves. Disgusted. Where is the video showing the mink screaming in agony while being electrocuted and skinned alive?]]></description>

Hi Samantha, some mink farmers do sell animals, though it&#039;s usually to other farmers. The price will depend on the type of mink. If it&#039;s considered a good breeder and of an unusual colour phase, it will be much more expensive than a regular brown mink. Your next step is to introduce yourself to a local mink farmer, but don&#039;t just turn up at a farm without an appointment. North American mink farms employ strict biosecurity protocols, and don&#039;t want strangers wandering around who might be carrying pathogens. Good luck.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.truthaboutfur.com/zimbal-mink-farm-wisconsin-family-affair/#comment-1782&quot;&gt;Kat&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Kat, in Western livestock farming today, there is almost no &quot;waste&quot;, and this is true for mink farming too. Mink carcasses are commonly composted into fertiliser, but increasingly they are being used to produce biofuel. In some locations, they are used by fishermen as crab bait. The fat is also used to produce mink oil (https://truthaboutfur.com/versatile-mink-oil-under-appreciated-resource/). As for ringworm, we are not aware that this is a problem for mink, or any mustelids. It is mostly associated with cattle, dogs, cats, sheep and horses.]]></description>
