Abstract
This article traces the significant shift in the global fur industry, noting a steep decline in animals raised for fur and the dwindling market value for pelts as major fashion houses adopt fur-free policies and consumers increasingly reject animal cruelty; bolstered by regulatory bans in multiple countries and mounting public pressure, these combined forces suggest a long-term downturn that differs fundamentally from past cyclical fluctuations, even as advocates emphasize that meaningful progress still requires ongoing efforts to end suffering on fur farms.
