Every day, millions of foxes suffer barbaric conditions on fur farms. This inhumane practice still exists purely for the sake of fashion. However, some are fortunate enough to be rescued from this cruel fate. This is the heartwarming story of a red fox named Frania who was saved from a Polish fur farm.
Open Cages are running a fundraiser throughout December to fight for an end to this cruel, outdated industry, one that recently seems on the brink of collapse.
This is a really special opportunity to help foxes in need, especially as any new £8 monthly donations mean that Open Cages will get a £20 bonus gift from a major donor.
Act now by donating or sharing the fundraiser!

They tried to reach for freedom, while others didn’t manage to survive
