The fur trade helped establish alliances between nations when it first started, which actually had a major impact on future wars.

The fur trade actually promoted the wellbeing of animals in the 1700s, when animals started being farmed for their fur. If an animal was treated badly, this would reflect on the quality of the fur.

In those times, there were many animals considered pests. Many of them were hunted in the wild for their fur, and this helped control their numbers.

In the 1700s, the fur trade was a very humane, legal and beneficial trade, and it is a shame that nowadays it is nothing but a legal form of torture.
