Video reveals cruel animal killings at Polish fur farm, as Finland devises Covid vaccine for mink
Exclusive: ‘With each day Britain still allows the sale of fur, we are complicit in the suffering,’ says activist
Mink that survived attempts to gas them to death were kicked or beaten to death with a metal rod at a Polish fur farm, investigators say.
And inside the gas chamber, the animals took “several dozen seconds” to die, footage from secret cameras suggests.
Activists argue the UK is complicit in the cruelty by allowing real animal fur to be imported and sold on items from hood trims and hat bobbles to slippers.
