Chinchilla Farm InvestigationPETA fired off a letter to the USDA demanding that it begin protecting animals raised for the bloody fur trade after PETA investigators on a fur farm in Midland, Michigan, saw chinchillas who were being electrocuted, causing painful seizures to the animals’ hearts, and having their necks snapped while fully conscious. Animals killed for their skins currently receive no federal protection from the kinds of abuses that our investigators witnessed.
