In Poll, Fur Farmers Name “Animal Rights Movement” as Biggest Threat

Part five in a thirty-article series this month on the ALF’s fur farm campaign

A poll in the fur industry newsletter Fur Farm Letter placed “the animal rights movement” as the biggest problem facing the North American fur farming industry.

From reading fur industry newsletters and documents, the two things the fur industry fears most from the animal rights movement are:

1) Laws that regulate the production and sale of fur, and-

2) The Animal Liberation Front.

The animal rights movement and the ALF were ranked a greater threat than increasing feed costs (number two), fur farming in Europe, and disease outbreaks.
