In 2009, The original Blueprint compiled the largest-ever collection of fur industry address and intelligence to date.
Updated for 2020, the new Blueprint compiles all fur industry information gathered in the last 10 years: Over 100 newly discovered farms, updated list of closures, and 17 pages of analysis on the top 6 weaknesses in the industry (vaccines, melatonin implants, more).
From the preface to the updated edition:
“The number of new addresses that have come to light since the original Blueprint are massive. This updated Blueprint offers many times more new info than the original Blueprint (without this editor spending a summer driving to farms).
Here is a rough breakdown of what is new for the updated Blueprint:
• 100+ new fur farm addresses.
• 90+ confirmed farm closures.
• 100+ updated details: addresses, owner names, more.
• More detailed analysis of weaknesses.
Whatever leap forward the first Blueprint offered, the 10th anniversary update offers in vastly greater numbers.
The Blueprint was released in December 2009. Countless hard copies were distributed at animal rights conferences, it was downloaded tens of thousands of times, and it helped introduce to a new generation of activists that the fur industry was comprised of farms and other entities that had physical addresses.
The broader history of fur farm intelligence gathering is traced on page 30, but The Blueprint’s place in it was defined in part by the following:
• Dozens of new fur farm addresses made public.
• Operational status of over 200+ farms confirmed.
• Hundreds of new details on fur farms and other industry sites published (specific addresses, notes on layout, species imprisoned, photographs etc).
The 2009 Blueprint compiled fur industry addresses, weaknesses, analysis, and specific detail on industry targets that had never been compiled in such detail in one place (the original fur farm list The Final Nail deserves original credit for the concept). Much of the details The Blueprint contained were either previously scattered, or altogether unknown.
Among the greatest testimonials to the efficacy of efforts like The Blueprint came from this paraphrasing of the Fur Commission USA’s head of security in Capital Press:
“The days of finding security by keeping a low profile in a rural location are over.”
After its 2009 release, The Blueprint had a cascading effect – both direct and speculative. In the former category, it set off a surge of anonymous research, document leaks, and other industry information coming to light at a pace I have not seen in the 15 years I have tracked the industry. Both myself and platforms like FinalNail.com received anonymous submissions regularly in the years that followed.
If The Blueprint accomplishes nothing else, it’s this small bit of accountability: There’s nowhere to hide, your vulnerabilities are laid bare, and only the reason you still exist is that a small group of dedicated people have yet to apply the knowledge contained here to its maximum impact.”
