The fur industry claimed that China, as the world's largest importer of fur, unexpectedly warm winter is the reason why the sales of mink fur have dropped rapidly recently.

Sara, executive director of Animalia, an animal welfare organization in Finland, believes that the collapse of the price is only part of China's general trend.

"Chinese people are getting better education, animal welfare awareness is gradually strengthening, and animal welfare issues in fur industry have also attracted more and more attention.

Nowadays, young people in China do not think wearing fur is a fashion.
