There's a woman in the town I live in who made a fur coat exclusively made from animals killed on accident. Took her something like 15 years to finish it. Amongst other reasons, she did it to show how ridiculous it is to mass produce such things.
@@LifesNeverHumDrum yeah, like i don't see that there's anything wrong with a family with a goat or a pig or chickens or hell, even a farm in a small village that provides food for only that village. i do have a problem with mass production and commodification of animal produce that massively sacrifices the animal's wellfare and the planet in pursuit of profits
really appreciate you speaking up about the fur industry, i try to avoid it in general but i had no idea how horrible it was. super entertaining and educational video thanks maya :)
lot of chickens are stunned with electricity before getting their heads chopped of or neck cut, sooo... I guess just stop eating animals and wearing them.
@@096MaxikinG096 That's a great point. That's why we meat eaters should be aware of where the meat we eat comes from, how they were raised and slaughtered. I love animals and perservation but I unfortunatly also really enjoy meat, so I try to only buy meat from my local butcher, that raises the animals himself and uses ''humane'' methods of killing (and the great thing is it is usually way cheaper than a big supermarket chain)
15 - 40 foxes is insane... The fashion industry is starting to gradually move away from animal fur but the use of replacements (artificial, natural alternatives) is still vastly low in the grand scheme of things. Huge respect to you for mentioning this after the wholesome show of fox snow vibes, you're doing amazing work thank you
That’s kinda crazy I live in Canada but I don’t know anywhere you can get real fur other than like a thrift shop with old coats, anywhere else they just don’t sell fur because no one wants it. I thought it was rare nowadays but I guess that’s just around here
@@cassiopeaknack im also in canada and i dont think i can ever remember seeing something being sold using real fur here either? i wonder if there's a reason for that, maybe im just ignorant to it?
@@NaturalBornLoserrrr I’ve looked it up and it’s completely legal and still being sold but I think it’s only sold in stores specifically about that and those are target at the upper class. So I think it’s mainly rich people buying them but I may be wrong. I will say I’ve never seen them at any store that I can enough money to shop at.
@@cassiopeaknack Canada goose uses fur in their hood and sometimes linning, depending on the model. They are super popular here in Europe, and I am assuming Canada too.
The most successful a kiddie pool purchase has been at Alveus, at least for a “Maya has fun for once” installment. Stompy’s pool is in a league of its own 😂
I knew that buying fur is terrible, but I didn’t realize just how horrific the industry is. Thanks so much-I came for cute foxes and I left learning a lot.
Dior and Louis Vuitton are two huge brands that still use fur. Thankfully, the Kering group (who owns gucci and saint laurent) has recently stopped using fur and replaced it with faux. It was an awesome win and proof that change is possible. Keep your voices loud.
It was a fun video for the most part but wow the information about the fur trade was really sobering. Thanks for informing us about that and while I've always disapproved of fur coats I will look at them in an even worse light now. The way the foxes are killed is horrible.
just wanted to say that youre part of what inspired me to start studying ecology and forest conservation. like ive always loved nature but seeing the work you do helped me realize id love to work on conserving it, so thank you ❤
I recently had to explain to someone that just because animals were killed for their fur thousands of years ago, that does not mean it's rational to be doing it today. Not only were there billions of less people on the earth, it was also done completely out of necessity. Now it's done in the most inhumane ways possible, and there are better alternatives out there for anything you could possibly want that fur for.
i love the insanely wholesome content followed by making me cry immediately after. thanks! for real though i will be telling that to people who buy furs because if that doesn’t get them to stop idk what would
love you spreading the info about the fur trade. i understand why you play into the centrist field, through videos like this it can bridge the message to so many people who wouldn’t know have thought of it! great video and editing as always
I've never thought about the fur industry before watching this video. I know I wouldn't wear fur, or buy new fur, but this is my first exposure to how it all works. It's horrific. Thank you for spreading awareness and sharing Finn and Reed with us. This has been insanely eye-opening.
40 foxes for one coat is just insanity. If people really knew how awful and unnecessary it is they probably wouldn't buy it. Keep spreading awareness :D
Just discovered Alveus and Maya, been following fox conservation for a long time and I'm so thankful there are people like this to fight against these horrible practices. Thank you Maya!
I'm glad you're incorporating educational stuff into these videos, which have been great! Just the right mix of fun editing, public social anxiety, and cute animals experiencing new things :D
I didn't expect to ball my eyes out at the end of the video... But it's so important to hear about that stuff and educate about it so thanks for doing that Maya.
I feel like we all forget just how strong maya really is- 27 7 pound bags of ice is 189 pounds, plus the weight of the shopping cart (about 58 pounds for a standard large grocery cart) means she’s pushing roughly 247 pounds- and ya the wheels would make it easier but still that’s A LOT-
Great video, I’m glad the foxes enjoyed their snow pool! If ppl want more information about the fur industry, there is a good video from a German TH-camr Robert Marc lehmann called Mission: Pelz. It’s in German but the visual explains the situation well enough. Thank you Maya for educating the world about this horrible industry
Good video!! I really appreciate how this was both fun and cute to watch as well as educational about the illegal fur trade, even if it was heartbreaking to learn about
Fur farming in the UK was banned over 20 years ago but not import or trade, unfortunately the government did a u-turn on banning trade recently so it goes on.
All of the footage at the end and the PSA you gave out about not supporting the fur trade in any capacity was really hard to watch but good to see. Thanks for the education Maya
Watched the vod of the stream and this is just as fun to watch in vlog form. My dog loves Maya’s voice (unfortunate cuz I was eating and now there’s a dog on me waiting for snuggles)
3:21 I feel like Maya has gotten a lot lot better at talking to the camera in the store in front of other people. Now she's become an average influencer.
the thing i don't get about Fenn is like, if I wanted a pet fox in an ideal world where they were as domesticated as dogs, i would want a fox that looks like a fox. i wouldn't get a fox that looks like a dog because then i'd just get a dog. obvs i'm not pointing this at Fenn, i'm pointing it at the people who breed and buy 'pet' foxes. it's like if you bought a 'pet' owl that is bred to look like a chicken - you're just making way more work for yourself and making the animal's life hell just to get an animal that looks like an entirely different animal that is far better as a pet in the first place.
I feel so crazy to ask this but I can’t place the song names! Do you mind filling me in? 😂 I’ve been combing through retro music lists trying to find them!
@@krystaloona Of course! The songs are from the Undertale soundtrack. The first track (0:00) is Snowdin Town, the second track (0:57) is Shop, the next track (5:09) is Hotel, the track at 7:36 is Snowy, and the track that starts around 11:30 is Home :) Hope that that helps! The whole soundtrack is amazing, if you haven't played the game or listened to the soundtrack before I would highly recommend giving the whole thing a listen. Hope you have a nice day!
seeing all these poor babies in cages being tortured just for fashion and money.. these foxes are alive and have families and feelings and thoughts just like us. thank you for speaking up about the fur industry and teaching people how to avoid all of these horrible methods when we have much better ways of living. i hope these little guys can live freely in the near future, if not sooner, they don't deserve all this suffering they have gone and are still going through.
you aree so amazing for spreading awareness about these horrible industries. Around four years ago I went down a rabbit hole into these topics and it had a huge impact on me going vegan. I have been ever since an advocate of animal rights, they deserve so much better. I love seeing what you do and how much of an impact you´re making on people with your platforms. Also, Feen and Read are really adorable and this was probably on of your biggest successes with a pool party for the animals, they clearly loved the snow. Sending you and all the animals at Alveus lots of love :)
I do own a fox fur, but it did not come from a fur farm. I went to a festival that attracts vendors, sorta like Renfaire but historically accurate. The person selling fur sourced that fur from roadkill incidents. My fox fur bears a mark of her death, torn up by a tire. He felt it the most ethical way to get it, and it is... depressingly, not in short supply for fox, raccoon, deer, or cyote in the pacific northwest. He felt the best way he could respect the history of the trade was working with torn and flawed pelts, since ye olden hunting methods definutely tore and ripped things quite a lot and Part Of The Craft is patching and repairing those sorts of things. I can't remember the name of his website off the top of my head but I know I still have his card. May edit later to share the name of his operation/name of the festival
I love these little vlogs they're entertaining and still educational ❤ Those statistics on the fur trade are insane and something needs to be done about it
of course he peed in the snow
ITS THE FOLK :0
adds flavor
NO LITTLE TIMMY, THE SNOW IS YELLOW!!!!!!!!

That’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard. Things should not be mass produced in these ways.
like number 222🎉
See that’s awesome. Processing animals for your own use is not the issue, it’s the commodification of it.

Yay. Another justified reason to not like Beyonce. Sweet Christmas.
Yeah, the last part of the video really hit me with the for one, cage sizes and especially the way they kill animals to preserve the furs
@@IsiahTomaswhat-
@@bbcbankruptcy What, did you forget she's not a good person?
The electrocution method to preserve the fur is so gnarly for no reason, I didn’t expect it to be that bad
Thanks for spreading awareness with Alveus
another common method, at least with minks is a gas chamber, fun times! /s
yeah I literally teared up at that I had no clue... fucking horrible

how do you not cry 24/7 seeing all of these babies have fun i literally cry for no reason at every video help
Same though, I would cry every time I went into work getting to see all the adorable babies living their happy lives
lol ❤
Truly heartbreaking to hear some of the knowledge dropped at the end of this, but good on you and Alveus for making this more well known

Ty for noticing haha
@@mayahiga :D
maya has fun for once has quickly become my favourite series. it's the type of content i need in my life
the footage of those poor foxes in cages and in absolutely terrible conditions made me cry... I didn't know it was that bad. those poor babies
i love the maya has fun for once series omg
The maya has fun for once is kinda a misnomer, its really maya puts even more effort into making animals have fun.
Me too
thanks for being so educational Maya, and taking care of your sweet animals.

please never stop with these videos, i am serious i need them for my happiness
Snow pool was a nice act glad they liked it. clips of fur trade was really upsetting as well thanks for showing.
Thank you for all the work that you do, to help raise awareness for good causes
I really appreciate how you can’t hear any of the chat talking. It makes the video so much better.
i love the insanely wholesome content followed by making me cry immediately after. thanks! for real though i will be telling that to people who buy furs because if that doesn’t get them to stop idk what would

the foxes are definitely my favorite part of the sanctuary, theyre so cute
What you do for the animal world is nothing short of amazing. Thank you for everything that you do. Ur amazing at it

using the snowdin theme for this video was a nice touch
Congratulations Maya, finally a full "animal-fun" success! 😊

I've never related to Maya harder than seeing a HUGE plant for so cheap and instantly wanting to buy all of them.
🤍 big respect, Maya the Merciful. we heart you!!
That transition into the ad was ✨ immaculate ✨
Foxes are such a sick animal with dog like features but cat like agility 😎
I love that the music is always video game music
she's kinda cool 'cause she gets her hands dirty and loves animals. Not many tubers/streamers are up to that. Respect
Thank you for the education.🙌

mission successful!!!
Typically if I watch the stream the contents from I don't watch the video on youtube but the Danny edits are too good I gotta see it all again
