fur farming
Raising animals commercially
Fur farming is the practice of raising animals—typically mink, foxes, or chinchillas—specifically for their pelts.
The industry operates large-scale facilities where animals are bred and slaughtered for the fashion trade.
Fur farming has been banned in several European countries.
The term often appears in debates over animal welfare and the ethics of fashion.
