Historically, June is the beginning of "fur farm raiding season", when mink born in March mature to a state where they can be liberated into their natural environment.
Since 1995, there have been at least 116 fur farm raids across the United States. Raids peaked in 1997 and 1998, and continued with small surges in 2008, 2011, and a resurgence in 2013.
In 2022, three mink farms were emptied by the Animal Liberation Front. Over 15,000 mink were liberated into their natural environment, and at least one fur farm closed as a result.
2023 saw the ALF visit three fur farms and liberate over 11,000 mink and dozens of foxes.
The anonymous liberators wrote "people need to see the filthy & cramped conditions where these territorial & genetically wild animals are kept up to four in a single cage. and the joy that is possible when they experience freedom."
Empty the prisons.
