Big news: new list of 92 fox farm addresses
Massive list of new fox farm addresses is released. Just weeks after 60 new mink farm addresses were exposed, an anonymous group calling itself the Fur Farm Intelligence Unit (not to be confused with the Fur Farm Intelligence Project) has released the biggest list of fox farms to date. The list includes 92 previously-unpublished addresses of what are believed to be fox farms. The message that accompanied the list reads, in part: Fox farm addresses are very scarce, and this list more than quadruples the number of known fox farms in the United States. The release of this list follows 60 new mink farm addresses which were made public by above-ground groups last month. The first half of 2012 has already seen the largest release of new fur farm intelligence since the 1990s. Included in the list are previously unknown fox farms in the following states: Idaho: 1 Iowa: 7 Illinois: 9 Indiana: 5 Maine: 1 Michigan: 8 Minnesota: 19 Missouri: 1 North Dakota: 2 Nebraska: 2 New York: 6 Ohio: 3 Pennsylvania: 8 South Dakota: 1 Utah: 1 Virginia: 1 Wisconsin: 15 The addresses don’t appear to have been investigated, and over the next several days Coalition Against Fur Farms will be doing what we can to verify the addresses and provide more information. Please check back for our full report.

New info on animals at the notorious Fraser Fur Farm
CAFF receives new information on species and number of animals imprisoned at Montana wildcat farm. Fraser Fur Farm in Ronan, MT is legendary for its title as the largest wildcat farm in the country. Very little is known about this farm, and most of what is known comes from this anonymous report from 2009 (includes the only known photos taken inside the farm), and details included in the 2009 book Operation Bite Back. Coalition Against Fur Farms has obtained new information on Fraser Fur Farm, which we are making available for the first time. This information includes confirmation that Fraser also imprisons fox and coyote (this was previously not known), and the number of bobcats killed (almost 90). This is the number of animal skins sold by Corey Richwine of Fraser Fur Farm at an auction in February. Coyotes: 43 Red Fox: 9 Cross Fox: 2 Bobcats:...
