Thanks so much for posting this Nancy. There are so many practices that are indeed cruel and tortuous toward animals and this information is documented via undeniable footage captured by undercover investigators. Thank God they have the courage and strength to film this horrific stuff bc I could not do it. We often have PETA to thank for showing us what goes on out there. Here are their many other accomplishments:
PETA's Milestones
Granted, there are farmers out there who are starting to change their practices and be more humane toward their factory farming animals - but we still have SUCH a long, long, looooong way to go - unfortunately. Until the time comes when we treat all animals humanely, we have to keep our heads out of the sand and face hard truths like we see in the various footage out there. I don't know of any furrier that engages in humane practices, but hopefully someday they'll exist.
