Alaska 2018 - 27 [a visit to The Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska]
We have some mixed feelings about visiting the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska. (See more at our blog post: As vegans, we’re not really down with using animals.
But, at least the Musk Ox Farm isn’t raising these animals for meat. They harvest Qiviut, their soft underwool, which is highly prized for its warmth. The Qiviut is gently combed from the musk ox in the summer months when they shed it naturally anyway.
The whole idea behind the Musk Ox Farm is to domesticate the animals enough that far north Alaskan natives could keep them as a sustainable farming practice. There are very few opportunities for far north peoples and raising animals already suited to the environment makes sense for them.
So, we get that this visit might be controversial for some vegans. But we also understand that not all cultures have the same opportunities we do.
The tour was thorough and we learned so much about musk ox! They are not really oxen, but more closely related to goats and sheep.
The musk ox population in Alaska was completely wiped out in the late 19th or early 20th century. Thankfully they have been reintroduced into several wildlife refuges, preserves, and national parks.
