Many high fashion companies began to refuse to use natural fur in their products.
One of Russia’s biggest fur retailers, Kalyaev, announced this month that it will close its factory due to the decline in the country’s fur trade.
Kalyaev said “Over the past two years, the world has changed tremendously. Some of [these changes] are not very pleasant for our business. Many high fashion companies began to refuse to use natural fur in their products. This has led to a wave of widespread abandonment of the cultivation and sale of raw furs around the world.”
We think most of you will agree that these changes are most pleasant, as the fur business is not at all pleasant to animals!
