Keep it up Alan. It’s been decades since we first met. my wife and I are elders now and still trapping . Some years we spend more on producing furs than we make selling them but overall we get by. The fur industry needs articulate advocates like you .thank you for promoting fur that enables our lifestyle to continue.

Thank you for your enlightening TRUTH ABOUT FUR website, I have found it very refreshing to have learned more about fur and how far animal activists will go to bend the truth. I now feel comfortable about discussing the logical side of this issue. I never could believe that a trapper or a rancher would skin an animal alive because that would be a case where laws are broken and the pelt would be ruined. Aside from the fact that at auction the value would be close to zero$. Just how dumb and gullible are these avctivists. I can go on but you guys already know, so once again thanks for the info and kudos to you .

In reply to Sue Havenhand. There are many social, economic and environmental reasons why it is ethical to use fur. Every serious environmental conservation authority now supports the responsible and sustainable use of animals and other renewable, natural resources. And the fur trade supports the livelihoods and cultures of farmers and trappers living in regions where alternate employment is not easily found. The real "vanity" here is the arrogance of urban activists who would impose their beliefs on everyone else.

Great! A blog that justifies the killing of animals for someone elses vanity. No one needs a mink coat ore than a mink. You should be ashamed.

Sono inamorata con la lavorazione della pelliccia da quanto ero piccola, guardavo il mio padre come lavorava le code di visone al’inizio e poi icapi con peli interi di visone. Ero sicura per me, avrei fatto sicuramente questo lavoro, cosi sono stata in Italia a studiare stilismo e modelismo e da 30 anni tutti i giorni mi trovo tra pelliccie nella mia cara citta di Kastoria.

Sounds (refreshingly) different yet bang-on trend. First the hipsters bring back true delicatessens, now the fur industry’s ‘coureurs de bois’ have a blog.

Curious to hear more..
