The Role Of An Indiana Fur Company

By Carmella Rolls


Human beings wear clothes to cover their bodies. Different types of clothes are worn in different seasons. Hot weather is characterized by light dressing, while cold weather by heavy dressing. Commonly used materials for clothing include: cotton, silk, wool and pelt. There is an Indiana fur company which deals with processing raw pelt into a product that is highly commercial and on market.

The reason for this is because of the valuable role this product plays. Pelt is used by many as a source of clothing. It is said to have properties that make clothes produced from it very warm. It is rare to see people dressed up in pelt during summer or hot weather.

Pelt is generally found in animals, but mammals are the only ones that qualify. Other classes like reptiles and fish have scales in place of pelt. The types of animals range from those bred in the wild to domesticated ones. They include rabbits which are the most common ones, cats and even foxes.

Pelt can only be obtained by skinning the animals mentioned above. This means that they have to be tracked or hunted first. Hunting and trapping supplies come in handy, especially if the animals to be captured stay in the wild. These tools are specifically meant for this purpose and if not well placed the target prey may escape.

The pelt or hair is meant to be extracted from the skin. The only way to do this is by taking the skin to a processing factory. At the factory, the freshly brought skin is washed and rinsed out in cold water. This is done in order to prevent blood from permanently staining the pelt.

The factories are equipped with the required tools, and chemicals to see to it that the pelt is processed. One of the procedures followed include tanning the pelt using a specific solution, in which the pelt is fully submerged into. This is done every twelve hours for two days.

The pelt goes through several other procedures before being ready for use. The other tanning takes up to one week. Tanning is meant to remove layers of fat under the tissue. The second time is meant to fully cure the skin. They are then dried with plenty of air circulation and sold off.

Very many legal concerns have been raised against the use of pelt. Animal rights activists have come up to campaign against the murder of animals for pelt. However for an Indiana fur company to run it has to be authorized.
