The fur industry involves the production and sale of animal fur for clothing and accessories. This industry sources fur from various animals, including minks, foxes, and rabbits, which are often raised on fur farms or trapped in the wild. The fur is processed and crafted into products like coats, hats, and gloves.
In recent years, the fur industry has faced criticism from animal rights activists who argue against the ethical treatment of animals. Many countries have implemented regulations or bans on fur farming, leading to a decline in fur production and a rise in alternatives like faux fur.
