30 Pictures Of Animals Who Escaped The Horror Of A Fur Farm And Now Live Happily At Sanctuaries
More than 50 million animals are killed for their fur each year. After spending their whole lives in tiny cages where they often suffer from aggression, auto-aggression, cannibalism, severe injuries, and stereotypy, they are killed inhumanely - by gassing or electrocution. Fortunately, some of the cute foxes and adorable minks manage to escape the horror of fur farming - with the help of an animal rights organization, an animal sanctuary, or on their own.
These animals got another chance at life. They were meant to die by a furrier's hand for “fashion,” but instead, the beautiful foxes are living their best lives at sanctuaries where they can rest, play, and explore. They are never going to be hurt again.
About the author of the photographs:
Andrew Skowron is a photographer who documents animal exploitation on factory farms. Sometimes he gets a chance to photograph those rescued and happy wild animals as well. You can follow his work on Instagram or on his website.

A bit of trivia: Russians were trying to breed foxes for fur and decided it would be easier if the foxes were more manageable, so they started breeding the friendlier ones to each other. But after several generations of doing this, not only did they get friendly foxes, they discovered that the foxes were now showing spots of white on their black pelts. That is why some of these foxes in these pics have white on them. From the "genetic experiment" of breeding for temperament.

I am so glad that these animals were spared a horrible fate. Aside from the animal itself, no one needs a fur coat that badly.

It's sad these beautiful creatures have to live in cages for the rest of their life, but at least they have a life to live. I wish fur as clothing would outlawed, no reason to for any human to be wearing dead animals as clothes.

I love furry critters as much as anyone who isn't a troglodyte. I am glad to see animals escape the fur trade, however, my larger objection to fur fashions is it just plain looks f*****g STOOPID!
