Canada Goose, Stop having Coyotes killed for your parkas!

Canada Goose, the outdoor clothing company hires trappers to kill coyotes to use their fur as a trim on the hoods of their parkas.

The most commonly used of these inhumane traps is the leg trap, which is designed to prevent any animal who is fighting for its life from escaping. Other traps used by their hired licensed trappers can include the head crushing trap and neck snares. These inhumane traps can leave animals suffering for hours or days. Some suffer from dehydration, blood loss, hunger, freezing or attacks from other predators while others are mothers that may be desperate enough to chew off their own limb in an attempt to get back to their pups before a hunter comes to shoot, stomp on, strangle or bludgeon them to death. Traps do not discriminate and therefore, dogs, cats, endangered species or other wildlife have been injured and killed by these barbaric traps. Spokesperson Josh Zeliger claims, "Canada Goose remains deeply committed to the responsible and ethical sourcing of all animal materials". There is in fact nothing ethical about this. It's powered by greed as the company rakes in millions of dollars each year. It's about cruelly killing for fashion and it's been going on for far too long. The rest of the parkas are made from synthetic material such as polyester and nylon and as for the coyote trim hood, it goes through a process of harsh tanning, dying and sheering to keep it from rotting. This process relies heavily on toxic chemicals which are listed as carcinogeons and are toxic to humans. How natural is it now? There is no way to ethically source coyote without causing these animals terrible pain and suffering.

Please join me and tell Canada Goose you want them to start using only synthetic fur and join the many companies that have made the switch such as, Arc'teryx, Maintain Equipment Co-Op, Columbia Sportswear, Patagonia and H&M. Tell Canada Goose to leave the wildlife where it belongs, in the wild, and you won't support them until they do. Cruelty is out of style
