Fur farmers are individuals or businesses that raise animals specifically for their fur. Common species raised include minks, foxes, and rabbits. These animals are bred in controlled environments, where they are cared for until they reach maturity. Once ready, the fur is harvested, often through methods that vary by region and regulations. The fur industry is a significant part of the fashion and textile markets, providing materials for clothing, accessories, and home decor. However, it is also a subject of ethical debate, with discussions surrounding animal welfare and the environmental impact of fur farming practices.
