Destined fur fashion...

We meet group saving animals from grim death

- BY NADA FARHOUD

THEY were weeks from being turned into frivolous fashion, but instead these animals have been given a new lease of life.

The terrified foxes were found trapped in filthy, tiny wire cages on horrific farms in Poland, highlighting the need for Britain to bring in a ban to stop fur imports to end the suffering they endure.

The animals were destined to spend their entire miserable and tormented lives trapped in these horrendous conditions until they were, most likely, electrocuted to make a trim for a coat or a bobble for a hat.

Each day, they paced incessantly in their cages and gnawed at the bars - signs of psychological distress until they were saved by courageous animal rights group Four Paws.

They will now live out their lives in a lush 1,000m sq enclosure at the Tierart Wild Animal Sanctuary, southwest Germany.

Deputy site manager Eva Linden-schmidt said: "These animals would have been killed within a few weeks if they had not been rescued.

"But now it is so touching to see them have a second chance at life.

"They have immediately dug dens and buried their food - traits in their DNA - despite not being given the start in life they deserved."
