Tanning damages some fur considerably . . .
To which tanning method(s) are you referring? In hair-on brain-tanning, for example, the agent—emulsified fats—does not come into contact with the fur. What would be the mechanism of damage?
Brain tanning wont cause damage. Various acid and other tanning procedures will. They take the shine off the fur among other things.
