WHERE BUNNY LEADS
PRINCIPAL FUR-PRODUCER OF THE WORLD Bunny leads all animals of the world as a fur producer-, say statistics published in connection with the coming International Fur Exposition at Leipzig. The humble rabbit yields 200,000,000 pelts annually and next come sheep with 26,000,000, moles with 20,000,000 and muskrats with 16,500,000. That just as many cats as foxes are slain to provide trimming for women’s costumes is shown by the tie of those two animals at 1,750,000. Gradual extinction of a species is indicated by the fact that only 500 chinchilla skins reach world markets each year.
