Banned

Despite huge production in some countries, it is banned in the others. Austria, Croatia, the United Kingdom, The Czech Republic along with Norway had banned this practice. There are certain countries such as Germany and Switzerland in which fur farming is strictly prohibited and hence there are no farms.

Ups And Down

One of the leading fur industries fell once in between the 1980s and 1990s because designers failed in coming up with the new line but the major reason this industry fell flat on its face was because of animal rights campaigns.

Super Fox

The organization related to the rights of animals brought “super fox” into the light. Super foxes were unusually large and rapidly growing which was just bred for their fur.

Effects

Due to this, the foxes had to undergo a lot of medical issues which included deformities in their limbs and other health problems and these have worsened with time. According to reports published in 2014 up to 86 percent of foxes were suffering from bent feet.

Unrealistic Sizes

To meet the demand and gain higher profits they made them grow to enormous sizes so their pelts will be bigger and could fetch them more money which adversely affects their health.

Living Condition

As these foxes are just bred for producing the fur, hence they are kept in pathetic living conditions like wire cages until their last breath. These cages are extremely small as they just have a foot distance to move in it. The cages that they are put in are filthy and dark making them frustrated.
