Stop the Canadian Import of Dog and Cat Fur Products from Asia

October 4, 2009 by Zephr

Ban the Dog & Cat Fur Trade

Have you ever wondered just where the fur harvested for those cute little stuffed animals that are so real and lifelike comes from?

To quote an email alert I have received from HSI Canada: “Imagine your best friend being cut open while still conscious, her skin ripped off her back as she cries in pain. Imagine her being left to die slowly, terrified and in agony.”

“Tragically, this awful scenario is a grim reality for too many of the millions of cats and dogs in Asia who are slaughtered for their fur.” (HSI Canada)

While the United States and European Union has already banned these products, Canada turns a blind eye, allowing import of these horrific reminders of gross animal cruelty into our country.

Despite public outrage Canada refuses to close Canadian doors, why, because, again to quote HSI Canada “… officials told Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz not to consider a cat and dog fur ban, saying it could undermine Canada’s “case” against nations that have prohibited seal product trade.”

It is time that the Canadian Government actually listened to the Electorate.

Please help put an end to the incredible suffering these animals endure. Please support HSI Canada in their quest to end the suffering. Please contact Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and voice your own disgust with Federal Government Policy.

Disgust for Asia who commits this gross animal cruelty and Digust for Canada’s leaders for being so easily intimidated into supporting such acts.

Asia and Canada’s leaders are DISGUSTING FOR SUPPORTING THIS GROS ACT OF CRUELTY, CANADA’S LEADERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR BEING SO EASILY INTIMIDATED AND HAVE NOT CONSCIENCE.

BAN THE IMPORTATION OF ANY PRODUCT RESULTING IN CRUELTY OF ANY KIND.

POLITICIANS GET SOME BACKBONE!!!

there should be something that all canadians can do to stop this horrible cruelity against animals. I saw a video about the raccoon dogs that they skin. Is there anything I can do?
