F UR FARMS
AND FUR INDUSTRY INFRASTRUCTURE SITES
Listed here are the addresses of every known fur farm in North America. The addresses
in this volume were taken from The Final Nail #3, released in the summer of 2008. For a
broader understanding of the fur industry and 25 pages of information supplementing the
addresses, we encourage referencing The Final Nail #3.
UNIVERSITY & PRIVATE RESEARCH
The fur industry relies on research done in labs to increase their profits through further manipulation of housing
conditions, breeding, and feed.
FUR AUCTION HOUSES
Where trappers and fur farmers sell the skins to retailers, wholesalers, and brokers. A weak point in the industry, as
only a few auction houses remain open.
FUR FARM FEED SUPPLIERS
The values of the pelts are largely due to their quality, and quality is closely related to specially blended feed developed by feed suppliers. These are a crucial component of the industry and there are only a handful left. Many also
have experimental fur farms.
FUR FARMS
FOX – 16 mink farms also raise fox in the U.S. as of 2006. There are no USDA statistics for fox farms and the
exact number is not known.
LYNX - Approximately 40 farms still imprison lynx in North America.
MINK – The U.S. has 271 mink farms as of 2006.
TRAPPING SUPPLIERS
Businesses selling leg-hold and other traps for killing wild fur animals.
FUR FARM EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS
Companies that sell cages, killing devices, automatic pelters, feed grinders, and more.
FURRIER EQUIPMENT SUPPLIER
Companies that sell tools to make the coats and other garments.
FUR PROCESSORS / WHOLESALERS
These are the people who clean pelts and sell them in bulk. Not all wholesalers are processors, although many are.
FUR FARM ORGANIZATIONS
Groups of fur farmers who lobby state legislators, produce propaganda and manage sales of skins.
FUR TRAPPING ORGANIZATIONS
Groups of fur trappers who lobby state legislators, produce propaganda and manage sales of skins.
The Problem
Each year, over 2 million animals are
raised on fur farms and killed for their fur.
The Culprits
Those listed here.
The Solution
...begins with you.
+++: Farms with this tag are requiring further investigation due to one
of the following: 1) the farms are
reported as not being at the address
listed, 2) the current operational status of the business is in question, 3)
there is a portion of the information
in question (missing street address,
etc) or 4) the information is unconfirmed. With creative research, these
intelligence gaps can be filled.
Over 10 billion animals are killed annually for “food” and “science”, and it is the obligation of all of us to expose
these horrors. The Voice of the Voiceless (.org) Flashpoint volumes are presented to address a simple fact: animal
abuse industries owe their existence to their secrecy. In giving animal exploitation an exact physical location, the
abstraction is removed and we are confronted with the duty that comes from living amidst a modern day Holocaust.
Knowledge bears responsibility.

The following were known to be involved
in the fur farming industry at one point.
Their current status is unknown. Most
of this information is from sources which
date to the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The number of mink farms alone has
dropped from 1,027 in 1988 to 271 in
2006. There is a high probability the
majority of these farms are no longer
in business. However some will be, and
these names and addresses are worthy of
investigation.
