The following addresses were obtained from public records, indicating dozens of farms (or other type of operations) that imprison bobcats and coyotes in New York. It is unclear which if any of these farms raises these animals for fur. Disclaimer Coalition Against Fur Farms has obtained hundreds of similar addresses from numerous states, each of which may be fur farms, which will be posted in the coming weeks. We will offer the same disclaimer each time: These addresses are uninvestigated. They house animals commonly used for fur, however an investigation is needed to determine the exact purpose of these operations. There are numerous other reasons furbearing animals can be held captive, including being bred for pets, roadside zoos, urine-collection operations for trapping lures, or penning operations to train hunting dogs. Some of these may be facilities which are helping animals. For example, wildlife rehabilitators and sanctuaries can often be required to have the same licenses as fur farms. Please do your research, and share anything learned with Coalition Against Fur Farms.

We took notice of a new site that serves as a fitting compliment to Coalition Against Fur Farms: the Wildlife Farms Database, which compiles addresses of captive wildlife operations in all 50 states. The site has a great rollover US map, allowing you to click on any state and see a list of wildlife farms in that state. What are wildlife farms? Here is a sampling of the types of operations listed on this site (from the Wildlife Farms Database mission statement): “Game” breeders Canned hunts Wild animals used for their flesh (i.e. deer held for “venison”) Urine collection / trapping lure operations Penning operations (animals used to train hunting dogs) Wildlife “exhibitors” (such as roadside zoos) …..and many, many more. The farms listed appear to run the range of species, including those that imprison frogs, pheasants, bobcats, quail, coyotes, groundhogs, squirrels, and literally hundreds of other species. The site posts information obtained from public records, including the species held captive when available, and in some instances the exact number of animals. Altogether, this is a very well-researched site that will be of interest to many readers of this one. Check out the wildlife farms...

The following Wisconsin addresses were obtained by Coalition Against Fur Farms and need investigating. The below list represents farms / facilities confirmed to have either mink, foxes, or coyotes. However the numbers of animals held, and their purpose is unknown (though CAFF does not support the imprisonment of any animal for any reason). These addresses were obtained from a list of captive wildlife permit holders in Wisconsin. None of the known fur farms in the state are on the list, indicating strongly that these addresses are not fur farms. Many of the identifiable addresses on the list include facilities such as roadside zoos, and even places doing good for animals such as wildlife rehab operations. We offer these addresses only because they are listed as having mink, fox, or coyote, and their purpose is a mystery. Please send any information about these addresses to Coalition Against Fur Farms.
