I hate to see animals on wire netting.

Unfortunately, when British fur producers attempted to farm animals for their fur they were attacked by 'animal rights' activists who released thousands of domesticated animals into the wild.
The Fur Farming (Prohibition) Act 2000 ended fur farming in the UK on 1 January 2003.
There is no doubt in my mind that this was stupid, ill conceived legislation playing to the gallery and moved fur farming from the UK, where it could be controlled and monitored to places such as China.

'Humanely farmed in Britain' could have been part of a trademark but the fluffies had their way and are to blame for the suffering of many animals world wide.
