The fur industry, unlike tobacco and cotton, did not rely on the slave trade. What was the most likely reason for this fact?

Farming things like tobacco and cotton was an undesirable activity, which most hated to do. The fur industry, which came from hunting, was a very fun thing to do. At this time, everyone enjoyed hunting because it was easy, and overall just a fun thing to do. Therefore, they would not hire slaves to do their hunting because it was not worth it.
