The fur trade declined for several reasons. In the 1800's it declined because many of the fur bearing animals had been trapped out and there weren't any to be found. By the early 1900's other fabrics had taken hold and furs were too expensive for the common person to wear. As time moved along it has become an issue of killing an animal for the fur and it is no longer considered politically correct to wear an animal for the fur. There are still furs made like ranch mink that are bred for the purpose of the pelt. Today there are also good faux fabrics that look like real fur. The need just is not needed today for a real fur.
