Fox Escapes From Her Cage In A Fur Farm, Gets Spotted By Activists And Rescued

ADVERTISEMENT

Every day, millions of foxes suffer barbaric conditions on fur farms. This inhumane practice still exists purely for the sake of fashion. However, some are fortunate enough to be rescued from this cruel fate. This is the heartwarming story of a red fox named Frania who was saved from a Polish fur farm.

Open Cages are running a fundraiser throughout December to fight for an end to this cruel, outdated industry, one that recently seems on the brink of collapse.

This is a really special opportunity to help foxes in need, especially as any new £8 monthly donations mean that Open Cages will get a £20 bonus gift from a major donor.

Act now by donating or sharing the fundraiser!

A few months ago, Open Cages activists investigated a Polish fur farm for cases of negligence

The rusty, hard bars of the cages hurt the foxes’ paws in the little space they had

Some had managed to escape. One of those was a little red fox

All animals deserve a chance. There are many animals that are locked up their whole lives for breeding, fur, etc. They never feel love or feel freedom. I appreciate and look up to this organization and the people in this organization that help save animals and give them a chance at a happy, healthy, free life in the wild or if they need to be domesticated.

WOW! So we think this is sad, but in an article a few days ago about fur vs vegan options most people were against the vegan options!! Check: https://www.boredpanda.com/fur-vs-vegan-clothing-debate/

The article was about reusing old furs and leather instead of throwing it away. I think it is a slap in the face to all animals who have been killed for human consumption to waste any part of it by throwing it in the trash. The article was NOT in support of making new furs.

The topic up for debate is the fur products themselves vs the vegan products themselves. The vegan products will, in the long run, have a considerably worse impact on the environment because they’re all plastic. The fur products, in that post, were shown to last longer, get passed down through the family, and keep the wearer warmer. This fur farm business is terrible, but it’s not a coin with only two sides. I’ll wear a fur coat or a leather jacket, but I sure as hell don’t support these fur farms.

I think people were just trying to sh*t on vegans. I'm not vegan but when I pointed out there's other factors (used vs new, location of origin...) I was downvoted lol
