Copenhagen Fur Center

Copenhagen Fur Center

Movies that involve animals always assure the public that "no animals were harmed in any way whatsoever during the making of this film". But can fur manufacturers issue the same assurance? Should fur-wearers be held as liable as those who manufacture clothes made from animal skins?

Even if you look exceptionally good in a mink coat, animals were harshly killed to give you that honor. If you have seen how furs were obtained, would you have been proud to own one?

Copenhagen Fur Center has a new name – Kopenhagen Fur. It's not actually a huge change, but along with the new monicker comes an whole new labeling method, as well as four new labels that are ensured to reach every fur consumer.

Copenhagen Fur Center is a familiar brand in the international market. The company is proudly-owned by more than 2,000 Danish who are fur breeders as well. Those who are familiar with the fur business know that Denmark is considered as the top three in animal export, contributing hugely to the GNP of the country.

Because Copenhagen Fur Center is the worldwide leader in the production of fur, it is committed to strengthening its spot as the biggest auction house in the world. The company offers the highest-quality and the most extensive variety of mink, as well as other skins. Copenhagen Fur Center allures buyers from all parts of the globe, to its five yearly auctions. Annually, the mink skins sold off number over 14 million, including other skins like chinchilla, sable, fox, seal, rex rabbit, karakul, and swakara.

During the auctions at the Copenhagen Fur Center, raw skins are the prime products sold. Raw skins are those that haven't been dressed or haven't been treated. An auction in December starts off the season, followed by the four others happening in February, another in April, one in June, and the last in September. Each of the five auctions lasts for about 3 to 5 days and around 2 million skins are sold off every time.

Several years of campaign has been spent by the International Fur Trade Federation in order to encourage the use of less harsh methods of farming and trapping minks, foxes, sables, and Persian lambs. The federation claims that its efforts have been rewarded.

It certainly is a good thing that there is a more humane process of trapping furred animals. After all, they're more than just a fashion statement.
