I have a silver fox and a midnight blue fox fur coat, 3/4 length that were given to me by a relative years ago. They're absolutely gorgeous. I'm a huge animal lover, so of course, I don't want to wear them but I'd like to do 'something' useful with them. I have 2 kitties, presently, but have had all sorts of pets over my life. I really like the idea of turning them into teddy bears, have one gd that would love one I bet. My dd and sd each got me fake fur throws (1 white; 1 cocoa brown) that my latest rescued kittie lays on all the time... Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Crone - you know how they get the fur from those ranch raised mink, correct? I don't know exactly but I know how to get fur from rabbits. We had rabbits as kids dad would bonk them on the back of the head with a pipe then hang them by the back feet and open them down the belly to let the guts out. Then he would cut around each foot and up the legs to get the fur off. We would have fried rabbit for dinner but I always felt bad that we didn't use the fur for something.

I always thought they just asked the little minks if they could borrow their fur for awhile. Isn't that where naked mole rats come from?
