Minks’ Necks Broken, Skin Peeled Off for Coats—Help Stop the Gov From Funding This

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Minks are shy animals who chill by themselves and like to have a vast habitat for foraging, climbing, and swimming—but a bill in Congress could prop up an industry that kills them and turns their fur into coats. 😰 A part of the proposed House Farm Bill (HR 8467) would help the mink industry develop and expand into international markets—a change that would fund minks’ suffering and pose a danger to public health.

PETA undercover investigations have revealed that fur factory farms keep these animals in cramped wire cages that are often caked with urine and feces. 🤢 The animals frequently show signs of extreme psychological distress, like frantic circling and self-mutilation, and suffer from infections, gaping wounds, and other illnesses and injuries that commonly go untreated. After a life of misery, they’re gassed to death or their necks are broken before their skin is peeled off. 😱

Public health pros say that cramming sick and stressed animals together in filthy conditions is reckless af. It creates the perfect breeding ground for dangerous diseases, including COVID-19—which can mutate in minks and jump to humans and has been found on hundreds of mink fur factory farms around the world, including in the U.S. 😷

Please urge Congress to help prevent minks from suffering by changing this dangerous bill!

I’m writing as your constituent  to ask that you help strike Section 3201(d) of the proposed bill HR 8467.

Section 3201(d) of the bill would earmark taxpayer funds to help the cruel mink-farming industry develop and expand into international markets, essentially becoming a mink coat subsidy.

Minks are shy, solitary animals who are fearful of humans and enjoy having a vast habitat in which to forage, climb, and swim. Investigations have revealed that on fur farms they’re confined to cramped wire cages that are often caked with waste. The animals frequently show signs of extreme psychological distress, such as frantic circling and self-mutilation, and suffer from infections, gaping wounds, and other illnesses and injuries that commonly go untreated. After a life of misery, minks are gassed to death or their necks are broken before their skin is peeled off.

Virologists and epidemiologists confirm that cramming sick and stressed animals together in unsanitary conditions creates the perfect breeding ground for dangerous zoonotic diseases, including COVID-19, which can mutate in minks and jump to humans and has been found on hundreds of mink fur farms around the world, including in the U.S.

Please protect animals and your constituents by removing the dangerous language in Section 3201(d).

Sincerely,
