fur farms

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (National Agricultural Statistics Service), there were 265 mink farms in operation in 2010. Leading states were Wisconsin, Utah and Idaho. Although the number of fur farms has decreased (there were 350 mink farms in the U.S. in 2000, and 771 in 1990), the total number of mink pelts “produced” has not decreased significantly.

This list includes farms that may have closed. This list does not include rabbit or chinchilla fur farms. All farms are mink farms unless otherwise noted.

trapping

Although the majority (85%) of animals killed for their fur are kept captive in fur farms, each year trappers kill millions of beavers, fox, muskrat, mink, raccoons, otters and other animals. The United States is the world's leading supplier of fur from trapped animals (“wild fur”).
