The fur farm was reportedly in the process of closing down and disposing of its remaining animals, but thanks to BoHe’s timely rescue initiative, the resident monks of the Buddhist Jilin Nursing Garden in Mudanjiang offered to give safe refuge to the rescued foxes.
American animal activist Karen Gifford spent several weeks communicating with BoHe and documenting her rescue initiative via social media, sharing the compassionate action with the world.
Sharing videos and photos via Facebook, Gifford observed, “The fox farmers are closing their business as they aren’t making enough money and cannot afford food for the foxes. They have been skinning live foxes and feeding the meat to the other foxes that are alive!” (Karen Gifford Facebook)
“The foxes . . . are domestically bred to be born in the spring and skinned alive in the winter.” (Karen Gifford Facebook)
