THE PROJECT:

In the summer of 2009, Peter Young launched the Fur Farm Intelligence Project with the intention of mapping the entire grid of the U.S fur industry. What is contained on this site is the culmination of this project. It represents the largest collection of fur farm addresses compiled to date.

In June 2009, I rented a car and began the roadwork phase of The Fur Farm Intelligence Project. I spent two months driving the back roads of the U.S., from Washington to Wisconsin, taking notes on every known fur farm on my course. The trip brought me to over 75% of the fur farms in the country. At the conclusion, I had visited over 200 mink and fox farms.

The Fur Farm Intelligence Project Mission Statement:
The Fur Farm Intelligence Project was formed to compile the largest collection of hard data on fur farms and fur industry infrastructure in 15 years. The Project is an endgame mission to map the entire grid of the industry, with a primary focus on names, addresses, and other actionable data.

The goals:
1) Verify the operational status of every known fur farm (open / closed)
2) Discover locations of unknown farms, research locations, and infrastructure sites.
3) Collect photos and data at each location relevant to legal campaigns: including species seen, farm size, and more.
4) Publicly disclose all data in a single document.

The phases:
Phase One: A two-month road trip to visit, at minimum, 75% of the fur farms in the country.
Phase Two: Research and compilation of all known data on fur industry locations into one hard document, forming the largest body of raw, site-specific data to date.
Phase Three: Three: The public release of all compiled data in one document titled The Blueprint.

While past fur farm investigations have focused on the treatment of animals, this investigation sought something different: names and addresses. For years various fur farm address lists had circulated, but the operational status and location of these farms had never been verified. This was central to the mission: verifying the “open / closed” status and location of each farm. I spent weeks cataloging the data I compiled, and am now able to expose the location of these death camps that are the prisons and cemeteries of millions of animals each year, with updated information and many new addresses.

Animal exploitation industries are only able to sustain themselves through secrecy. This project has brought the locations of many animal abusers to light. Knowledge bears responsibility. Know what injustice is happening in your area and ask what you will do today to end it.

For liberation,
Peter Young
