One question why dont fur farmers have warning systems on thier premises??? Time and money. There is only so much capital to spend. So you pick and choose what seems the best use of funds. But seeing how profitable the fur market is...

But seeing how profitable the fur market is... Probably not a great choice of occupations if you cant afford good security in this day and age. Of course, maybe insurance policy is so good that it is a welcomed event every few years?

Someone needs to go in and open the doors on thousands of cages too., As to higher tech alerts etc. The larger remaining ranches near us have sophisticated monitoring systems on the newer facilities and ways to send warnings to staff.
