Hey guys, I hear a lot of talk on this subject. I got my check from fha yesterday, and I’m really wondering if this is end of the industry as we know it. I know there’s a lot of variables to it, but in what’s your opinion? Will the market ever come back?

Define "industry" As to size, scope, impact etc. The fur industry like many has been centralizing and standardizing for decades and that was in response to a growing market. If we are in a declining market the will the centralized fur industry continue to shrink and maybe disappear. If so we will wind up with thousands of small cottage fur businesses worldwide which will survive and maybe thrive but at much different size and scope as to what we have seen the last decades. Most of us will not find a way to participate in a small cottage type industry that is basically a side income for many and not much world impact financially.
I would be one if I did not have a commercial market I would not be sourcing out firms that want a couple furs of each species etc. that is something others can do. It does look like even at my advanced age a small scale ADC trapping component would work better for me with a whole lot fewer aspects of the harvest to invest in and work on.

I think it will be around, but it will be different. Remember a place called Montgomery Ward, and Kmart, and many other businesses that refused to change, and they thought the world needed them a whole lot more than they needed the world. Things are a changing and if the fur industry doesn't change it will fall by the way side. This is just my opinion of course. And just what change do you propose?

Step away from the bong, and lay off the crack pipe, Crit-R-Bung !!! Have you been hitting the bottle hard again ? It's too early in the morning to be under the influence, dude. walleyed I loath drugs and I don't drink at all, I find it turns people into dicks. What have you obviously been drinking? Zing. I think we'll see improvement starting next year, not much mind you, 2 to 3 years I believe we'll see levels approaching the last mini boom. Call me crazy.
