Their suffering is compounded during the summer when hundreds of thousands of minks, foxes, and other animals endure dizziness and vomiting before dying of heat exhaustion.

And after spending months crammed in their tiny cages, fur-farmed animals are gassed, strangled, or electrocuted for their pelts.
