Animal’s toys that are sold as a cat sleeve etc.
Fur (real fur) is often used, but reflecting the voice of the citizen saying “We do not want to use fur made by killing animals with animal’s toys,” in recent years the number of fur free companies has been increasing little by little.
FUR FREE Companies

NOT FUR FREE Companies
On the other hand, some companies continue to use furs.
Dogyman Hayashi Co., Ltd. (Pet Supply Maker)
Recognition that “it is a by-product for meat so there is no problem”
Marukan Co., Ltd. (Pet Supplier Maker)
I received the following response in July 2018.
“Some of our cat’s toys include those using fur of animals (rabbits), but the fur itself is not processed for toys, but by-products born during edible processing We have diverted from, from the viewpoint of effective use of resources, there is no scheduled to stop at this point.
However, recently we feel that there are an increasing number of people who have an aversion to animal furs, so it is absolutely essential for cats to show interest, but to search for new materials in the future I am willing to make it an issue. Thank you kindly look forward for your understanding. ”
However, it can be said that ethics is lacking in the idea that if it is a by-product, it can be used rabbit fur for animal toys. Because most of the rabbits raised for meat are cage breeding, as well as fur, the poor rabbit breeding in meat production is known.
