Photos from Inside a Chicago-Area Fox Farm

The photos below were taken at a fox farm in Joliet, Illinois; near Chicago. This farm was made public after PETA posted images of this farm, and the name of its owner: Richard Ross. Ross is a pastor at the St. Bernard Parish.

Coalition Against Fur Farms has obtained the full collection of photos taken by a PETA investigator at this farm, as well as several videos (which will be posted in the near future). Some of these photos have not been seen until now.

The available information on the farm, as listed in The Blueprint 2010 Supplement, is as follows:

fur farm
17135 & 17141 Rosalind Street
Joliet, IL 60432
Robert L. & Joan C. Kern, and / or
Richard Ross.
Notes: Fox farm. Confirmed open,
2010. Ross is a Catholic priest. Holds
approximately 100 foxes. Cages at far
south end of property, hidden in the
woods.

The Richard Ross fox farm appears to be a small backyard operation, holding 50 to 100 foxes at most. Satellite images of the farm show it to be well-concealed under a canopy of trees, and to be comprised of dozens of small cages in a very small area.
