Fur and Trapping |
 | | Supporters portray fur "farms" or "ranches" as humane environments, but in fact, these facilities are little more than a series of small wire cages in an open shed. |
 | | Trapping is well known for the suffering it causes—torn flesh and tendons, broken bones, dislocated joints, crushed pelvises, swelling, and blood loss. |
 | | Traps and snares, especially the archaic steel-jaw leghold trap, have been so maligned in the United States that many believe they have been banned. |
