"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5870519\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Given that we produce furs, you might think we can't use the rest of the animal, but every part of the mink is used. The carcass is composted and used for fertilizer, as is the manure. The fat from the animal has multiple uses, including makeup. The fat also helps to keep moisture out of leather made from the hides of other animals so it stays looking good. We use the entire animal. The fur is used to make coats, rugs and coat collars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5870520\" data-originallang=\"fr\">People don't realize we use 100% of the animal. That's an important fact. That's why we are coming to you for help. We want people all over the country to know that our products are ethical and that all of our ranches pay attention to the welfare of the animal.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5870519\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> \u00c0 cause de la question de la fourrure, on pourrait penser qu'il est impossible de se servir des autres parties de l'animal, mais, en fait, toutes les parties du vison sont r\u00e9cup\u00e9r\u00e9es. La carcasse est compost\u00e9e et r\u00e9pandue sur les terres. Le fumier sert lui aussi \u00e0 engraisser les terres. Le gras peut \u00eatre utilis\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs fins, notamment le maquillage. Ce gras prot\u00e8ge aussi de l'humidit\u00e9 le cuir des autres animaux et lui permet de rester beau. Nous utilisons la totalit\u00e9 de l'animal. La fourrure est employ\u00e9e entre autres pour les manteaux, les tapis et les collets de manteaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5870520\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les gens ne sont pas inform\u00e9s du fait que nous nous servons de 100 % de l'animal. C'est important. C'est un peu pour cela que nous vous demandons votre aide, c'est-\u00e0-dire de faire savoir aux gens, partout au Canada, que nos produits sont bons et que le bien-\u00eatre animal est respect\u00e9 dans toutes nos fermes.</p>"
