    A GROWING PROBLEM
    During the past years, consumer demands for animal welfare in modern Danish farming have increased. Quite a while back, Kopenhagen Fur decided to take this issue to heart and set a good example. As early as 1985, the fur trade prepared guidelines for fur animal welfare - at a time, when no guidelines existed for other livestock farming.

    Fur is generally considered natural as it can be sourced from the wild. It is also seen as a renewable resource, since the animal can breed naturally. Real fur has also been known to decompose very quickly if not over treated with preservatives, usually taking around up to six months.
    As it is made from petroleum oil, fake fur can still be considered as a highly polluting material due to its production methods. The apparel Coalition places Acrylics as one of the top ten most polluting materials in production. Fake fur has also been known to take nearly 1000 years to decompose, and can even release plastic particles and chemicals into the oceans after each wash.

    During the past years, consumer demands for animal welfare in modern Danish farming have increased. Quite a while back, Kopenhagen Fur decided to take this issue to heart and set a good example. As early as 1985, the fur trade prepared guidelines for fur animal welfare - at a time, when no guidelines existed for other livestock farming.

    In 1999, Danish and international research formed the basis of a European set of rules to protect fur animals. Since then, new Danish research results have been incorporated into the Danish rules on protection of fur animals from 2007. The Danish rules on mink welfare made in cooperation between Kopenhagen Fur and the Danish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are therefore stricter than the European rules.
