Use Of Beautiful Real Fox Skins and the Environmental Impact

Throughout history, fox skins have been worn as garments and enjoyed for their warmth, beauty, durability and practicality. Today's consumers appreciate their furs for other reasons as well. In a world where lifestyle decisions have far-reaching implications for the global environment, it's important to know that real fur is among nature's most ecologically sound products, and that all furs sold in the United States come from plentiful species. In fact, thanks to skilled fur farmers and dedicated wildlife professionals, fur bearing animals are more abundant today than at any time in our nation's history.

Animal rights activists have launched a campaign to deny us the freedom to choose fur. They oppose the consumption of meat and dairy products. They reject the use of animals in medical research. They view pet ownership as a form of slavery. And their goal is to impose that value system on the rest of us. In America, our way of life is based on freedom to choose for ourselves. We exercise that freedom by making intelligent and informed decisions, based on the facts. That's the purpose of this portion of our web site. After you read it, you will understand why fur continues to be - as it has been for centuries - the natural choice.

REAL FUR IS ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY

Real Fur is Part of the Conservation Ethic
From start to finish, the production of real fox skins involves virtually no waste, an important element of the conservation ethic. Farm-raised furbearers consume meat, poultry, grains and other farm byproducts not suitable for human consumption - products that would otherwise require costly landfill disposal. In turn, the byproducts of fur farming are used in the production of many everyday products, including cosmetic and soap perfumes, hypoallergenic soaps and cosmetics, paint, tires, animal feed, pet foods, fertilizer, and, of course, mink oil.

Fur Bearing Animals are More Plentiful than Ever
No furs from endangered species are sold in the United States. Fur sold in the U.S. comes from one of two sources: from fur farms or from trapping regulated by state governments. As wildlife habitat has given way to civilization, it has become vital to manage animal populations not only for the protection of people but for the survival of the animals themselves. That's why trapping is recognized, endorsed and regulated by government as an important element in proper wildlife management.
