Canadian Fox Industry Faces Rising Prices and Exports
The season sees 219 live foxes valued at $820,000 shipped from Edmonton to eastern Canada and the U S for breeding. Ten black pups sold for $80,000 to a New York firm. Many young foxes die after capture and prices have fallen 25 to 50 percent due to plentiful supply from Alaska Yukon and the northwest territories. A western firm plans to discontinue eastern shipments and establish a western Alberta farm as four foxes are already there. Prices may rise once the young foxes leave their dams and can only be trapped individually.
