The Fur Farm Intelligence Project: An Update
This supplement brings together every piece of new fur industry data collectedsince the release of the original Blueprint in December, 2009.In spring of 2009, the Fur Farm Itell- ligence Project was launched to map theentire fur industry. The Project includeda 10- state road trip, where over 200 furfarms were visited and notes collected.In December, 2009, all informationcollected during the FFIP was released in a document titled The Blueprint. The64-page collection organized the addressof every known fur farm, feed supplier,and other fur industry components.In the media, fur farmers were quick tocall The Blueprint
a “terrorist handbook”,
while they continued their killing of over 2 million animals annually.In the 10 months since The Blueprint
’s
release, volunteers with the Fur FarmIntelligence Project, FinalNail.com, theFur Farm Intelligence Unit, and others have continued to uncover new informa- tion on the fur industry, all of which iscompiled here.New information provided in thissupplement includes:*18 new fur farms*Three new feed suppliers*One new mink researcher*Eight confirmed farm closuresIf you have any new information on thefur industry, please submit to nail@finalnail.com.The Fur Farm Intelligence ProjectNovember, 2010
