Despite protests by opponents of human intervention in the natural course of evolution, genetics and breeders continue work on breeding new breeds with qualities most sought after by man.
In Finland, livestock defenders unveiled new photos and videos from fur farms. These photos show a new breed of arctic foxes, which the skin reaches gigantic sizes, gathering in many folds, and animals, being in cages, cannot even move.

So many skins that she closes her eyes to the poor animal.
There is little space in the cage, animals sit almost all the time still.
And it’s inconvenient for animals to move with such a skin.
But from an industrial point of view to breed such huge foxes profitable. To stitch one coat, you need 10 to 20 skins ordinary foxes. The same animals from the farm skin several times more, therefore, less will be required for sewing a fashionable fur coat or vests.
Arctic foxes on these farms are kept on a special diet to animals gained as much weight as possible, food for them has high fat content.
In nature, polar foxes weigh about 3.5 kg, while the foxes on the farm reached a weight of over 19 kg.
Zoozaschitnaya organization, referring to the law on the prohibition of selection causing animal suffering requires careful inspections and elimination of violations.
Every year, genetics and breeders strive to provide mankind with the necessary resources do true miracles, demonstrating the limitless possibilities of science. But when a person it is taken at its discretion to redraw nature for the sake of his interests, reality is cruel.
