Hunters don't hunt mothers when pups are too young to take care of themselves: That's only when they become pests. Poachers hunt foxes out of season. Most of the fur is farmed as in breed for it. Foxes aren't that "loyal" to their mates.
The only citation in that article is a link to pretty much the same article on a another website. The other article pretty much states that is IS a byproduct of meat, it's just about the mistreatment of cows in another country.
Fair enough, but is really alright to just say, 'oh, we are killing this animal for it's meat, so why not take it a step further and use it's skin for something we really don't need'? and yes, there are places that solely raise cows for leather (even if the link I picked wasn't the best). Also, leather isn't solely cows, animals such as crocodile and horses are also used to make leather

I seriously doubt there are many places that raise cows just for leather, it's just not good business, pretty much every part of a beef cow has some use and is sold on.
