Abstract
Farming played a vital role in the development of humankind by freeing up time for hunter-gatherers to develop their intellect and society. However, since the postwar period, intensive farming practices have focused on the production of cheap animal products in great quantity at the cost of sweeping aside concerns for animal welfare. Fur farming sits at the pinnacle of these concerns because it produces luxury items that appeal to human vanity rather than a need. Use of fur neither adds to human intellect nor makes any meaningful contribution to society.
This essay discusses the practice of fur farming through an examination of differing regulatory frameworks and their underpinning socio-legal context across three continental areas. Europe, North America, and Asia/Oceania are responsible for the vast majority of both the production of and the market for fur. Most of this discussion centers on mink because they are the largest source for fur.
