Many animals suffer from close confinement, often developing self-mutilating behaviors, they also exhibit distressed neurotic behaviors such as pacing back and forth in their cages. Animals live in filth on fur farms and are often victims of disease and pests. Fur farm animals are fed meat by-products which are often which are considered unfit even for the pet food industry. There are no regulations protecting animals on fur ranches. Cages are typically kept in open sheds that provide little protection from wind, cold, or heat. Many animals lie in their fecal matter or to have toes frozen to cold wire mesh during winter. Fleas, ticks, lice, and other insects are attracted by the piles of excrement under cages, often left for months, long enough for insects to infest the animals. To kill the animals on fur farms without damaging their fur may be gassed, electrocuted, poisoned with strychnine, or have their necks snapped. These methods are not 100 percent effective and some animals "wake up" while being skinned.
