Fur farm footage posted on internet

VIDEO footage from inside the country’s six fur farms has been posted on the internet by animal rights activists. The clips show apparently distressed mink locked in small cages.

The ability of activists to breach security at the facilities will raise fears about the possibility of more of the non-native animals escaping into the countryside.

The footage is believed to have been recorded in recent weeks by members of the Animal Liberation Front, an organisation whose US branch has been classified as a terrorist organisation.
