A new article has come out from CityPages examining the Fur Ever Wild Fur Farm situation in Lakeville, Minnesota. This time we get a more in depth look of what people have seen behind closed doors. If you are just learning about this Fur Farm/Petting Zoo in Minnesota please read the following blog posts in order first:

So... here is the latest...
CityPages article (May 2016) can be read HERE
One source of info for the CityPages article appears to be the Terri Petter Deposition talking about the animals killed for fur. If you've not read it yet you can see the full document HERE
Also, this time around Terri Petter has chosen to address the public on her Facebook page (HERE) in what appears to be a way of clarifying some of the statements she has made in her deposition. She still maintains that she only pelts the animals that die of natural causes and she also wants people to know that those 1500 fox Dan Storlie spoke about pelting were not hers, they actually were from another fur farm. But… then there is this document: EUREKA BOARD MINUTES 2008, and it shows conflicting information once again. Read p. 8 - 10.
Re: pelts from animals that die of natural causes
Re: those 1500 fox that were pelted
With those two documents the public has enough to decide what they do and don't believe about Terri Petter's business. Is she killing her animals for their fur or is this an innocent business and its owner being wrongly accused?
I also wanted to close with this because I find it very interesting...If you've read back you'll see that there are some statements suggesting Dan Storlie, Terri Petter's partner, is employed by the USDA. I questioned whether or not that was accurate until I found this:
Terri Petter's fur farm was found to be in compliance with USDA regulations the last time her farm was inspected but one has to wonder how a USDA employee remains objective when inspecting the business of another USDA employee? Hmmm… I'll have more on that later.
