Fur

The fur industry involves large-scale breeding, confinement, trapping, and killing animals for the commercial use of their pelts. It operates as a material production system in which animals are raised or captured specifically for the preservation and processing of their skin and hair for clothing and luxury goods.

While practices vary by species, geography, and regulatory context, the underlying structure remains consistent: animals are confined or trapped, killed, and processed for their pelts, with aesthetic and market value prioritised over lifespan or bodily integrity.
