New photo 'Mentally broken' foxes and mink are pictured in Finnish fur farms where animals suffer painfully

Mink, foxes and raccoon dogs are forced to tear each other to pieces as they suffer appalling conditions in Finnish fur farms.


An investigation by the Humane Society International (HSI) was launched and they have released shocking footage and images of the conditions the animals face to coincide with International Fur-Free Friday.


The footage reveals animals are forced into cannibalism and kept in tiny cages with raw wounds festering.


The miserable foxes, mink and raccoon dogs suffer with deformed feet, diseased eyes and open lacerations across their bodies.

Fur farming confines animals for all their lives before they are harvested for the coat on their back - mink are killed by gassing and foxes and raccoon dogs are killed by anal electrocution. 


Veterinary professor, Alastair MacMillan, looked at the footage and said it 'shows the toll that the continued isolation and confinement is having on these animals, many are showing signs of severe physical and psychological distress.


'Several of the mink and foxes have open, infected wounds and several foxes have grossly diseased eyes which will be extremely painful.


'If this is the best the fur industry can offer animals, no wonder so many designers, retailers and now cities no longer want anything to do with it.'

In the UK fur farming has been banned since 2000 but Britain continues to import fur from a variety of species including foxes, rabbits, mink, coyotes, raccoon dogs and chinchillas. 


The charity wants Britain's Environment Secretary Michael Gove to 'stop his double standard' and stop importing furs.


The UK director of the Humane Society, Claire Bass, was so shocked she staged a protest by locking herself in a cage yesterday for 24 hours outside the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in London.


A UK ban would follow in the footsteps of similar action in West Hollywood, Berkley and San Francisco.


The footage taken by HSI showed two fur farms where thousands of mink, foxes and raccoon dogs are being raised for fur.

Each of the fur farms was certified by the fur industry as being 'high welfare', despite the harrowing pictures.


Since the UK's ban took effect in 2003, they have imported nearly £700 million of fur, including £14 million worth from Finland.


Finnish farms are the biggest producers of fox fur in Europe where around 2.5 million foxes are reared and electrocuted every year for the global fur trade.


Other exporters include Italy, France, Poland, China and Russia where the conditions on fur farms are as bad or even worse.


Ms Bass said: 'Seeing first hand these animals mentally broken on fur farms and even driven to cannibalism has been utterly heart-breaking.

'In their tiny barren cages these animals have zero quality of life, they merely exist as shadows of the wild animals they should be.


'It's sickening that the fur trade still attempts to justify this blatant animal suffering, and we hope that our investigation will encourage designers still using this fur to see through the travesty of so-called "high welfare fur."'  


A Finnish animal right activist, Oikeutta Elaimille, who accompanied HSI on the fur farm visits, said: 'Tragically what we saw on these farms is far from unusual.

'I have visited more than one hundred fur farms and the suffering of the animals has been obvious in every single trip.


'More and more countries are banning fur farming and the Finnish government's support for it is looking increasingly isolated and outdated.' 


In July, the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Select Committee published a report on its inquiry into the UK fur trade, including recommending that the government holds a public consultation on banning the sale of animal fur in the UK.


Finland's ProFur director of communications said earlier this year: 'Fur industry is part of the Finnish bio-economy and circular economy.


'It brings 400 - 500 million euros annual export incomes especially to rural areas. It is traditional, responsible and constantly developing. I want to be part of making fur industry more transparent to the general public.'


Johanna Korpela, a veterinarian for the Finnish Fur Breeders’ Association, said today: 'The symptoms that some animals had in photos are regrettable and everything has been done in daily care routines to prevent such. But as in all animal farming, there will be the rare occasion when sicknesses or wounds etc can occur.


'Although responsible fur farmers are doing their best, it is possible that some of the thousands of production animals can suddenly fall ill. Four dead animals out of the 12,000 animals on the mink farm on the date of the secret filming equals 0.033% mortality, which is below the typical figures in the production animal sector.' 


A statement from the organisation says that minks become distressed by intruders and torches and may become aggressive towards each other, adding that sudden eye infections or wounds can also occur between care and feeding rounds despite careful animal husbandry.


'Both of the farms involved have valid Finnish Standards Fox/Mink/Finnraccoon certification and both farms have been inspected according to this certification programme,' the statement reads.


'Official veterinarians and ProFur’s own veterinarians have inspected both farms. A municipal veterinarian visited the second shed area on the farm in Southern Ostrobothnia on the day of the intrusion, on 2 October, and the farm at Ostrobothnia on 5 October, as a separate request due to the intrusion. 


'The farms received no complaints. There are more than 12,000 minks on the farm in Ostrobothnia and 2,000 foxes and Finnraccoons on the farm in Southern Ostrobothnia.'


A recent report by the Daily Mail found that many UK shops, including TK Maxx and Amazon were selling real fur - such as fox and raccoon dog - as faux-fur.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
