*************VICTORY*********** PETA has successfully helped close one of the largest chinchilla breeding and fur farms in California for good. Valley View Chinchilla Ranch masqueraded as a breeder of pets, despite slaughtering, skinning, and selling the pelts of any chinchillas who supposedly did not work out as companions and even going so far as to hide its involvement in the fur industry—including a freezer containing pelts—from the public. The facility owner admitted to denying chinchillas veterinary care, performing painful medical procedures—including limb amputations—herself without pain relief, and using a method of painful electrocution deemed unacceptable by the American Veterinary Medical Association. Thanks to the help of PETA patron Sam Simon, PETA was able to rescue 420 chinchillas, ensuring that this facility will never again breed, sell, or slaughter chinchillas for their fur. The chinchillas are up for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA. Watch the eyewitness video, view the behind-the-scenes photos of the ranch and the rescue, and please consider sharing this remarkable story on Facebook right now. Kind regards, IEN signature.PNG Ingrid E. Newkirk President People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals P.S. The global fur and skins trade is one of the single largest contributors to animal suffering on the planet.
