After years of mounting pressure from activists and the slow and steady demise of the fur industry, Canada Goose has announced that they will be going fur free by the end of 2022. The notorious fur-trimmed jackets have long been the root of controversy for the company and have been the target of countless ads and demonstrations urging the company to ditch fur. This is major news, particularly in terms of the survival of the fur industry which is looking more bleak with every major announcement like this one.

Animals raised for fur are often raised in horrendous conditions. These animals are crammed into cages with very little room to move, sitting amongst their own feces & urine. They suffer tremendous emotional, mental, and physical abuse during their short lives leading up to being electrocuted or gassed. These animals are exploited to the highest degree and discarded like trash after having been skinned. 

Animals like coyotes or wolves that are caught in the wild for their fur are cruelly trapped in leg-holds that are agonizing painful. These wolves / coyotes are left in these holds sometimes for hours / days, writhing in pain. They suffer dehydration and the potential for being attacked / killed by predatory animals as they remain stationary and trapped. If they don't starve or get mauled by predators, they are left face to face with trappers who end their fearful lives with bullets.

Sadly, Canada Goose has made no mention of the down they fill their jackets with which means ducks / geese will continue to suffer for fashion. Down is forcibly removed feathers from the underside of ducks / geese. In most cases, the birds are alive as their feathers are ripped from their bodies to fill jackets, pillows, and other household items. Down is disgusting and exploitative, unnecessary, and cruel, and Canada Goose must take the next step and ban the use of down in their future lines as well. If not, this is not a victory, simply a step towards victory because they are not cruelty free, simply fur free. 

Fingers crossed we hear an announcement from the company soon regarding their use of down but for now, let's celebrate the fact that they're ditching fur and we're one company closer to the demise of the fur industry.

HAPPY VEG
