But you know the longer the pharmacy here the more it stinks. Itself we can. All see i feel really sick the stench is unbearable. And the mom who we will be. Going next youre. There for. Conditions. You can want to take them with me. This box was destined to be turned into jack a trim. But she got lucky she was rescued by pavel and his colleagues from the organization open cages now she lives with other foxes and the possums are in poland. Became
keen its im going with palin on try to document conditions in poland for farms works for peta the Worlds LargestAnimal Rights organization. Is there anything we need to watch out for the crew we shouldnt draw attention to ourselves were going to be in the area a while. Most fair farmers dont want the public seeing or knowing what goes on in their farms we dont want to be seen looking at one of the biggest farms hence the back route. Most people think that for farms like the one were going to only exist overseas in china and so on but the fact is the e. U. Is a major fur producer. Is that it thats the farm its huge. About One Hundred Fifty Thousand mink are kept here. As in Fashion Producers are gigantic farms like this security is tight so it must be pretty bad inside. For is
a thriving industry in poland these days the country is the second biggest producer in europe with annual turnover of nearly Four Hundred Million euros. Dollars me he said since with even if there were controlled by veterinarians how are they going to check One Hundred Fifty Thousand animals the farmers are one huge Animal Rights nightmare. Well see why in a moment we try our luck on a smaller for a farm first. Plus now we need to be very careful and its much easier to take the guy we saw collecting mushrooms but then we dont know what business hes a. Suspect or mentions he might decide we look suspicious Walking Around here for this because the first condition for what could happen if you tell someone were here. First and i dont know the worst that could happen is that he calls his friends and they wait for us back at the car it. Has not happened
thats happened often that weve had our paths blocked. And we also run into some trouble later but for now were only having a look at this farm from the outside. My room. Smells gross. Purses societe with luxury but this place is anything but that red slop by the way is the meat waste they feed the animals. Cull and theyre all cowering in the corner so theyre not moving at all. No they dont move theyre afraid. And you can tell that theyre just a tool life in a cage and theyve got nowhere to go all they can do is cower in the corner and have a room to call and conditions on this farm are legal in line with you law still the owner is not pleased to see us images of Fluffy Creatures and filthy cages are not good p. R. You know but. This is private property ok this is a public road ok get lost. What did you say to him. That were making a documentary about for farming and wed like to ask him some questions. He told us to get lost and then he called the police. And he says ill call the cops i want to get out of here i dont have Hundreds Nerves of steel we had to a village where theres another heavily fortified for farming we meet said bina who lives in the village a farm like this is bad news not just for the animals but for locals to rescue my life is that like living with a farm like this thats right near neighborhood. There are zillions of flies everywhere. Its almost like a plague. Yes it stinks and the value of our property has fallen seventy percent. But locals can protest all they like these farms are legal for now every now and
again home and debates banning them we obviously arent going to get inside one during daylight so we wait and try under cover of darkness. We stop to change on the way. Which. Was from essentially im petrified on it from the others were here a few weeks ago but the owner might have gotten dogs in the meantime the four of hired Security Guards i guess were about to find out that its not. Someone might. Sometimes i wonder why do this sort of thing. Can he meet you you know who you were this time pavol comes with us to the farm. Look at the world. You just move on the complete the noise just looks like theres more on the slate. So. Green green we thought everything was god it smells around us you know. How long do they stay in this case. Before christmas were told this might or during. The first phase and cared for their siblings love them and want to help with their move through the new approach this with and through or through and through november in the spring whats this. You called for your support if you call it and this is the legal capacity of the cage just. This is all. Your. Mobile phone book. Id like you to come with me. This is a fox its for would fetch about sixty euros on market. I mean it sells for just thirty euros. This is a recruit its far would go for about sixty euros to. Mean a lot of space and hibernate in winter their first often used to make bubble hats the sort of a lot of people wear on cold days. And look at how filthy it is all the droppings i. Can would take one would see if you could play through it you know its very difficult three point three four with the course hes super afraid read can you only move to cool the Shopping Mall in the few remarks actually i told him that i did all the first through yes. So thats
a hurdle not something up for. Me because it does look traceable its possible theyre called think you see in this new. Its the only mother you live with therefore. What is it because there are difficulties because there. So this is the. Rental property manager folks and what i did was i got this right the socalled. Moderate that we know are good. And cover go on like that our. Condo was normal so we. Pay for. The. Hearing room. But not seen footage but when you
actually see it with your own eyes its overwhelming. And the animals look so sad and frightened the cages are so small and it stinks its stink. It was excrement everywhere and theyre so cute. Thats horrible thats the sound on the planet and this is only a small farm its nothing compared to some of the others. And by the way this is how the animals are slaughtered recurrence and foxes are electrocuted orally and analeigh to make sure their fur as and damaged mink are gassed i want to get out of here fast i cant take it anymore. Its hard to say exactly where their pups and up their coats are sorted by quality
not by provenance. And im about to face my own Moment Of Truth in my. Im very happy and when i was researching this piece i read that you cant always recognize whats far and what isnt and that its not always labeled. So now ive got a really bad conscience because i bought a coat last year with a for a trim its really hard to find coats with nothing on them. Now im really worried that its real for ive brought the hood along thanks said go west. I mean you know ok you dont need to worry i can see straight off that this isnt real. Ok but its really fluffy right. Yeah it is but there are tests you can do look here for example. Its very thick but if it were real youd see some dermis. Kind but this is synthetic. So theres no skin off its been glued on to something synthetic. And you can tell from the structure that it Isnt Real Fur to stoop to the heart is. President. And if you blow on real fur a passage forms but this stay stiff. Ok and i said im going to be real fur on a six year old coat kind of feeling think i could be sure. Right to fair is very common sense of you might think its not going to be real for when you buy a cheap jacket but thats not always the case so. You often find real for in that price range that you really need to watch out. Even regulations stipulates clothing with real fur must be clearly labeled but compliance is low and mislabeling is frequent. State by state. Colorful. The most traditional. At any time.
