I have been looking through some old and more recent articles about the fashion industry using fur in collections and have found that the majority if press about the fur industry is bad for the fur industry in the UK...
The first is from the Independent Newspaper,
2012, 'More than 50 million animals will be killed for their fur this year,
most of which will have spent their short lives in miserable conditions on fur
farms before they are killed, sometimes being skinned while still alive.'
The second is from The Daily Mail, 2011,
'Filmed last month in Maryland and Pennsylvania, the footage shows animals
being crushed, strangled and drowned as trappers struggle to keep up with
booming demand from the fashion industry'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1366983/How-ethical-fur-fashion-industrys-cynical-yet.html
Both articles are talking about how the fur
trade should be band in the United Kingdom and if there is such a thing as
'ethical fur'. After reading these I have had a look at some of the major fur
companies across the world and there views on how fur is 'friendly'
Fur companies such as Copenhagen Fur, do say
that 'All Danish mink farms are subject to annual, statutory veterinarian
visits. The visits involve a routine inspection to identify any health or
welfare issues on the farm. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration also
makes regular inspections of farm welfare.'
