Torben Nelson, chief executive officer of the Copenhagen fur auction house, one of the world's most influential fur auction houses, said that fur prices doubled in 2009, including mink and Persian Lamb skin.

"At present, China accounts for more than half of the world's fur trade and is made by Chinese fur traders in luxury brands," he said.

Fur has become the most popular hot spot at the seventeenth Haining China Leather Fair.

Haining leather city is not only in Hangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu and other cities held fur show, its just in Liaoning two fort, Shandong Heze and other places of Haining leather city is also the main fur.

In fact, the cities and counties that are mainly fur industry are making great efforts to expand fur industry.

Fur is very popular in Northeast China and is regarded as a symbol of fashion and nobility.

Duan Yanling, Secretary of the Work Committee of Liaoning Tong Er Bao special administrative region, told reporters that the fur industry of Tong Er Bao was in a prosperous period. Besides Haining Leather City, Hongkong's Dover and Shanghai Yalong groups invested about 1000000000 yuan to develop the local fur industry.

"These markets can be built and developed on the one hand due to the blockage of the export market, and more importantly because of the rise of domestic fur consumption."

The vice chairman of the China Leather Association and the chairman of Limited by Share Ltd of China Leather City, Haining, have said that Liaoning's Tong Er Bao special zone, which was originally exported, is an example. Because of the financial crisis in 2008 and the Russian "grey customs clearance" event in 2009, fur export was blocked. With the consideration of animal welfare and environmental protection in many western countries, fur clothing was not very popular, which led to no great breakthrough in fur export.

Based on this, in 2009, the market focus of Tong Er Bao shifted from outside to inside.

According to the China Leather Association's data, the world produces 2 million 500 thousand pieces of fur annually, and China consums 1 million 500 thousand pieces, accounting for more than half.

China's fur consumption is on the rise. In 2009 alone, fur sales in Haining China Leather City increased by more than 30%, and it is expected to increase considerably in the next few years.

"At present, the number of fur garments owned by hundreds of people in China is 3 to 4, which is almost the same as that of cars.

Unlike foreign aristocracy, fur clothing in China is a fashionable and popular route, so the market potential is very large.

There is no law.

However, while fur is selling well, anti - Qiu sports are also coming up one after another.

Since 1960s, when American fashion designer Oleg Cassini designed a leopard skin coat for president Kennedy, Jacqueline, fur has been popular all over the world. At the same time, the anti fur movement has also begun.

Almost all animal protection organizations protest against fur clothing.

During the fashion week in New York which just passed in September, several animal protection personas were nuddled with animal painted and painted costume designers, which attracted media attention.

And since 2005, after the exposure of cruelty and cruelty to animals in Xinji, Hebei, the domestic anti fur voice has been rising one after another.

In this year's Sohu launched the "low carbon" star campaign, several influential environmental celebrities such as Sun Li appeared in response to the anti fur campaign of the Peta Asian branch and filmed the anti fur promotional film, which was supported by many fans and people.

In addition, anti fur activities have also been responded by more and more college students.

Millions of college students have been concerned about activities since the landing of China's International College Students' anti fur fur art design competition in 2007. The Chinese university students have submitted more than 12000 works in the September design competition.

"Today, more people believe that whether it is from carbon reduction demand or from the perspective of human ethics, obtaining material for manufacturing commodities through" atrocities "will create a climate crisis and degradation of civilization in human society.

Environmental art designer Liu Xinnong said.

"Many Chinese consumers do not understand the problem of animal cruelty and environmental pollution behind fur, and our activities provide a window for understanding."

Zhang Yang, one of the heads of International College Students' "anti fur" art design competition, said they hope that the younger generation of China will understand the truth and change the concept of fur.

Zheng Ying, a member of the natural environmental protection organization's friends of nature, believes that under the trend of low carbon and green consumption in the world, fur clothing will also be more and more controversial in China.

"Although many people can afford fur, but with the concept of animal welfare and environmental protection popular, people will consciously resist fur consumption."

Generally speaking, the two main reasons for the fur industry are the inhuman breeding and skin picking, and the pollution during the processing of fur.

Whether environmental protection and fur consumption can be integrated is becoming the focus of consumers' attention.

Liu Guanzhong, Professor of Fine Arts Department of Tsinghua University, said that whether fur should be human clothing is the key to solve these contradictions.

"Clothing consumption should follow the principle of making human life healthier and more reasonable. It should be in harmony with most people and more in harmony with nature."

Liu Guanzhong said that only when fur production can take care of animals and concern for the environment, can it become a commodity for consumption.

"Fur imitation is a way to liberate these imprisoned animals."

Zhang Yang said fur imitation is popular abroad, and they have introduced this concept to China.

Imitation fur is made of synthetic wool.

In the past, fur imitation was cheap, and the quality of imitation fur has been greatly improved in the past two years, basically retaining the soft touch and elegant appearance of fur.

This is the new direction of fur industry development in the future, and will be praised by the fashion industry and the environmental protection community.

In addition, the pollution of fur processing has always been an unavoidable problem in fur and leather products industry. Chinese leather enterprises are struggling to solve this problem.

Ying Wenjun, general manager of Haining extraordinary Garment Co., Ltd., said that enterprises are studying various eco leather to remove harmful chemicals.

"In the future, environmental protection requirements will be stricter and stricter. Only by increasing research in this area will we not be eliminated."

Ying Wenjun said.

"Many enterprises in Haining have changed their original disregard for the environment.

In the process of processing fur, there are strict environmental protection measures, which is the inevitable requirement of fur pformation. "
