	Fur fetishism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fur fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a fetishistic attraction to people wearing fur, or in certain cases, to the garments themselves.
		One reason why fur may be fetishized is perhaps that the garment forms a "second skin" that acts as a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin.
		One of the earliest documented examples of fur fetishism was the case of the eponymic Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, both in real life, and in his semi-autobiographical novel Venus in Furs (Venus im Pelz).

		The fur trade has gone on since antiquity, but it reached its apogee in the organized exploitation of the wilderness of North America and Asia from the 17th to the early 19th cent.
		The depletion of fur-bearing animals was strikingly indicated in the fate of the sea otter on the Northwest Coast.
		Since the 1960s synthetic furs have become increasingly popular as a result of their relatively low cost and realistic appearance, greater public awareness of endangered species, and the disappearance of certain furs from the market because of restrictive conservation laws.

		Since the fur animal is killed solely for his or her pelt, fur farmers usually dump the entire carcass, as it has no economic worth.

		Brilliantly performed by Kidman and Downey, FUR is a tale of artistic and personal self-discovery; an Alice-in-Wonderland adventure that is both exciting and scary, and ultimately, deeply moving.

		The decline of this industry and the legislation that has been passed to outlaw cruelty on fur farms show the extent to which this fact has been acknowledged.
