Quebec gov refuses to rescue foxes in critical state from HELLISH fur farm

[snagglepuss]

After receiving a complaint about alleged cruelty on the farm south of Montreal, the SPCA obtained a warrant to investigate last May.

SPCA director of animal advocacy Alanna Devine says she was horrified when she arrived at the farm in Montérégie.

“Animals not having access to adequate water, large amounts of excrement, filthy cages... the sort of things that would be outrageous if we saw dogs… wired bottom cages, no access to a solid floor,” said Devine. “Difficult things to see.”

In Quebec, the number of farms isn't clear, because the industry is unregulated. Farms of 10 or more mink or foxes do not need permits, so there are no inspections unless the ministry receives a complaint
