The Jorney Mink Ranch in Alliance, OH was raided three times by the Animal Liberation Front.  In total, 11,000 wild mink were liberated from their cages at this now-former wildlife prison.

“We now feel confident to say that the Jorney Mink Ranch (pictured here) and the B.J. Hoffman Fur Farm, both large farms in Ohio, are now closed, leaving only a handful of fur farms remaining in the state.

ALF Liberates 30 Foxes From Ohio Fur Farm

Posted on 2023/11/26 - 2024/06/05 by unsalted
Exterior view of the large buildings of a fur farm.

On a chilly night last weekend, members of the ALF visited Grand River Fur Exchange in Rome, Ohio (6310 US Highway 6) and liberated 30 foxes being held captive there, destined for imminent slaughter so their skins could be sold for profit.

One thing we noticed about this particular farm, though at first glance it seemed moderately secure…..we didn’t even need bolt cutters. The wire encircling the pen where the foxes were held we were able to rip open with nothing but our hands. Once inside, the cage doors, held fast with a little bit of wire, were also able to be torn open with just a strong pull. It just goes to show that anyone, without requiring any special tools or know how, can visit a fur farm at night and save animals’ lives.

Most of the foxes were terrified of us, knowing humans come only to deliver abuse and death. But within minutes most of them had leapt from their cages, some escaping through the holes we had created in the enclosure. All of our efforts that night were repaid in an instant, seeing the foxes that had escaped into the outside world, knowing these were their first moments of a new and long life when minutes ago they had been condemned to death in mere weeks. No amount of chanting at street protests will give you anything close to the feeling of seeing animals you just freed get away. Continue reading “ALF Liberates 30 Foxes From Ohio Fur Farm” →

PNW Fur Industry Farms, Successful Midwest Actions

Posted on 2023/08/29 - 2023/10/25 by unsalted

The fur industry in the Pacific Northwest is a shell of what it once was.

Since the first recorded ALF liberation at a fur farm in 1986, where 66 foxes were freed from a fox farm outside of Portland, anti-speciesists in the PNW have waged a war against the fur industry.  At least 20 farms have been visited, and over 31,000 genetically wild animals have been given a chance at freedom.  All of these animals are native to North America and can survive and thrive in the wild.
Only 5 fur farms remain in Oregon today, down from 18 in 2007. The fur farmers cite direct action, aging facilities, aging operators, and low pelt prices as the reasons.
The five farms that remain in operation are:
Cascade Farms of Oregon, 7582 Hunsaker Road SE, Turner, OR 97392
Ruef’s Fur Ranch, 12305 Ruef Lane, Mount Angel, OR 97362
Ruef & Sons (Oregon Mink / Ormink), 11658 Baron Road NE, Mount Angel, OR 97362
Slack/Masog Farms, 32600 Fur Road, Lebanon, OR 97355
Western Star Fur Farm, 40801 Savola Lane, Astoria, OR 97103
Only 4 fur farms remain in Washington. They are:
Moore/Rodriguez mink farm, Moore Quality Ranch, 9471 or 9580 Mount Baker Highway, Deming, WA 98244
Marr mink farm, 4800 Mount Baker Highway, Deming, WA 98244
Roesler Brothers Fur Farm, 33425 138th Street SE, Sultan, WA 98294
Brick Road Fur Farm (possibly closed), 19780 NE 55th Place, Redmond, WA 98053
This is an industry incredibly vulnerable to attack.  2022 saw over 15,000 mink liberated from fur farms in Ohio and Michigan, with the second largest fur farm in the U.S., Lion Farms, closing as a result. Two farms have been visited in 2023, the Olsen mink farm in Independence, WI saw 4000 mink aided to escape, and a week later dozens of foxes were freed from the Tim Jahr fur farm in Arlington, MN.

Every animal on fur farms will be murdered for their fur in November. We have two months to act. For a complete list of fur farms visit finalnail.com

SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF MINK RELEASED FROM A FUR FARM

Posted on 2023/08/18 by unsalted

“a few nights ago we visited olsen fur farm (smieja) at w22875 state road 121 in independence wisconsin. it’s operational for now, but maybe releasing several hundred mink has a chance to close it for good. we hope many of the mink enjoy their freedom in the wild and that this farm will be unable to breed thousands upon thousands of them in future years. they have an opportunity now to cut their losses and leave the fur industry forever.

fur farms exist only for fashion and profit. though the industry has declined significantly in the past decade, hundreds of thousands of animals are bred and murdered for their fur every year. even if these minks lives in the wild are cut short by nature or human intervention, the farm would have undoubtedly slaughtered them all. there is real joy in bearing witness to these animals getting their first taste of freedom. we hope this action inspires others to take similar action for animals near them. with a little planning and a few cheap tools, you too can liberate hundreds of creatures in a few short hours. until all cages are empty, for humans and non human animals alike. free them ALL”

4,000 Mink Liberated from Scholten Farm

Posted on 2022/12/11 by unsalted

Anonymous submission to Unsalted Counter Info.

scholten farm and feed supply, at 260 139th ave in wayland michigan, recently woke up to the jubilation of 4,000 mink getting their first taste of freedom. scholten farms has concrete walls surrounding their mink prisons, but 4 ramps were built (with their own materials) and lots of mink treats were laid along the ramps to entice mink out of the enclosure. the mink killing machine was located and destroyed. the pvc water pipes that connect to each shed were dislodged and destroyed. to ensure this place closes, all 10 vehicles (including farm equipment) on property were sabotaged, by putting bleach, water, and sand in gas tanks and oil reservoirs. free all prisoners and give the land back.
