Denmark is the world's largest producer of mink pelts, and each year are killed between 10 million to 13 million mink, which represents about 40% of the total world production. Most skins are exported to Asia or South-Europe. Fur factory farms are therefore a big business, and the animals pressed as hard as possible to provide farmer profits. Although a mink coat is expensive, so the real price are paid by the animals and the environment.
In addition, Denmark has 18 fox farms.

In 2009, the Danish Parliament passed a new law banning fox breeding in Denmark. Before 31 december 2016, all fox farms in Denmark would be closed.
The animals are subjected to extreme cruelty which can be seen in this video

Sample Letter:
Dear Sir/Madame
I am aware you currently stock items that use real fur.
I am writing to enquire about your procedures for scrutinizing the ethical credentials of the designers you choose to stock. How far do you check that the public are not being sold items which mistreat animals in their production?
Several EU countries have taken the compassionate step and banned fur farming, including the UK, Austria and Croatia. The Netherlands has already banned fox and chinchilla farming, and is currently discussing legislation to ban mink. However, as you will be aware, the trade of fur is still legal worldwide. It is therefore up to retailers to take responsibility for how the products they sell are made.
At the very least, retailers wishing to stock fur products should engage with the designers they stock, and ensure that they are sourcing their products responsibly. The public are increasingly concerned about the way the clothes they purchase are manufactured, and are seeking assurances that animal welfare is never compromised in their favourite outlets.
Retailers must acknowledge their role in creating demand for a product which has consistently been exposed as inherently cruel and inhumane. I for one refuse to shop somewhere which sells such products.
I urge you to take responsibility for how the products you sell are produced and watch the video from TV2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2O2rXONyas. After viewing the footage, I hope you will reconsider stocking fur in your store in the future.
Sincerely,
Name, Country
We must fight against the spirit of unconscious
cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals
suffer as much as we do. True humanity does
not allow us to impose such sufferings on them.
It is our duty to make the whole world recognize
it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to
all living things, humanity will not find peace”
~Albert Schweitzer, The Philosophy of Civilization
