Radical Animal Rights Publication Lists Fur Farms in Michigan

An updated version of a radical animal rights publication called “The Final Nail” was recently released. Dubbed the “complete guide to liberating fur farm prisoners,” previous editions of “The Final Nail” have been met with criticism from the fur industry who argues that the publication advocates and supports “terrorism.” Animal rights activist Peter Young–who is interviewed in The Final Nail–has argued that the publication played an important role in radical animal rights activism in the 1990s. Each year, an estimated 26 million minks are killed on fur farms where they are kept in a variety of horrific conditions until they are killed for their fur.

The publication lists several actions against fur farms undertaken by animal rights activists including the freeing of 5,000 minks at a farm in Powers, Michigan, a 1992 arson at the Michigan State University Department of Animal Science, freeing 150 minks at a farm in Bath, Michigan, and two attempted raids in Menominee and Bark River.

A video from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) provides more information on the treatment of animals by fur farms:
