Fur Farm Fox Ages Well

Animal Story, Blog, Foxes | December 16, 2009

Feather; rescued fur-farm fox, is nearly 11 years old. She is a loving, squiggling vibrant bundle of luscious red fur, bright eyes, mischief, intense emotions, curiosity, intelligence and acrobatic grace, one of the miracles of life on this earth. The average life-span for a fox in a fur farm is 1-2 years. She is a single living testament to the lives of all the foxes who were not rescued – what they might have been. Lives they might have lived. Eleven years of loving and living and the joy of being in an astounding body that is a fox. To bring them into this world to live in a tiny mesh cage; never to get out; vitality constrained and unexpressed, forced to bring life into this world only to have their babies taken away year after year to be killed for some person’s  luxury – what that must do to our collective human soul!
