Hideaway hides
Article Abstract:
The battlelines over the use of furs in fashion have shifted since the 1980s when animal rights organisations such as Lynx mounted a highly effective campaign against the fashion and fur-trapping industries. Efforts to highlight the economic importance of hunting and trapping for native peoples in North America did not prevent fur sales in the UK falling by a reported 75% between 1985 and 1990. The anti-fur battle in the 1990s is focusing on international legislation to ensure that only humane traps are used to ensnare animals. Meanwhile the Canadian fur industry is promoting Inuit fashion.
