Happy #FoxFactFriday and #WorldWildlifeDay! Today World Wildlife Day falls on the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). CITES is a treaty where Parties of the Convention work on their shared goals of ensuring the sustainability of endangered species.
Foxes are still suffering on cruel fur farms in Canada. Although the industry has been on the decline recently, fox and mink are still being bred and killed for their fur.
