Coyotes in Canada are now being targeted in the interest of fashion. Canada Goose Inc., a clothing company that specializes in extreme-weather outerwear, is using coyote fur to trim some of its coats.
While Canada Goose states on their website that the “fur that we do use is acquired in the most humane ways,” they do not indicate exactly how that is accomplished. They also state that they “adhere to the guidelines of the Fur Council of Canada that governs fur use in our country,” yet leg holds are legal in every province in Canada, and coyotes often mutilate themselves trying to get out.

Please take a moment to tell Canada Goose to stop using animal fur, and add your name to the more than 1,000 signers who are boycotting their products. Click HERE to visit change.org.
