At the American Legend May 2011 auction, the auction house listed one of the top lots as being produced by “The Becksteads of Lehi, Utah, and Weston, Idaho.” The Beckstead farm in Utah has been known for years, however the farm in Idaho is not known to us.

It does not appear through satellite images that there is a fur farm at this location. Help us locate this farm by submitting any info to whistleblower [at] coalitionagainstfurfarms [dot]...

Jack Rose is one of the few researchers in the country focusing on doing research to benefit the fur industry. His work at Idaho State University is deemed important enough to the fur industry that the Fur Commission USA funds his research every year. The 2011 animal use report for Idaho State University shows Jack Rose experimented on 72 mink last year. Coalition Against Fur Farms has turned up information that Moyle Mink, also in Idaho, is supplying Jack Rose with animals. The Moyle empire is comprised of at least four mink farms, a feed supplier, and processing...

Coalition Against Fur Farms has learned of the following suppliers of feed, vaccines, and caging to the fox farm industry. Information on fox farming is very difficult to come by, as the industry is much smaller than mink farming. Most of the companies were previously known to supply the fur industry generally, however it was not known they provided supplies specific to fox farming. For example, it was suspected but not confirmed (until now) that United Vaccines provided vaccines for foxes as well as mink. The same is true for the feed suppliers listed: each of them was previously known, however their production of fox feed was not confirmed. This is very important information towards dismantling the fox farming industry.
