This legislation indicates, more than anything else, that consistent pressure and education to the general public and politicians can be an effective means of change. It is akin to the recent news that the Ringling Bros. circus would phase out the use of elephants in their acts.
The decision, announced Thursday, may not be what everyone was hoping for. But it is a move in the right direction, and one that illustrates Canadians are more prepared to accept animals (including fur-bearers) as more than property. It is a sign that you, our wonderful supporters and members, are doing work for a cause that can be won.
Work like our growing Living With Wildlife campaign is only possible with the support of monthly donors. Please consider become a monthly donor – for as little as $5 a month – and help us create a Canada that is truly fur-free.
