The ethological needs of animals commonly exploited for their fur, such as foxes, minks, raccoons and chinchillas are denied within the farms. In the wild, these animals would move in large areas, dig dens and some of them would swim for miles. Phenomena of madness, self-harm and cannibalism are in fur farms on the agenda, given the unnatural and contrary to the etogram conditions of the species involved in which individuals must survive and then be killed in gas chambers or with electric shocks.
This type of farming has proven to be an unsustainable practice, with a strong impact on the environment and a serious threat to local biodiversity.
