皮草︱Fur Industry

皮草,绝对是时尚界最具争议的话题之一。  关于享受美丽与动物生存权利间的拉扯不断。 皮草不像皮革一样是肉类加工的副产品,而是纯粹为时尚产生的。这组照片拍摄于浙江桐乡一个被称作“中国皮草之都”的崇福镇,皮毛加工和销售是当地的一个传统产业,已成为中国最大的集皮草设计、生产、出口于一体的产业基地之一。 (摄于2012年)

Fur, one of the most contentious items of clothing, is more popular than ever.  People are wearing fur in greater numbers and more designers are choosing to feature evermore fur in their collections.  However, it is still a divisive issue for retailers and consumers alike. Fur farming is considered very cruel by animal rights campaigners. There are animals dying every second because of fur trade.These photos were taken in Chongfu town called “the Town of Fur” in Tongxiang, Zhejiang province, China. The fur tanning and trade is an important part of local economies. This town has already become one of the largest industrial bases of fur design, production and export in China.  (2012)
