This will all be over soon.

I decided I'm keeping all cats, good coyotes and good coons starting this year. I'll have them made into blankets, hats, etc. for the family. The rest I'll sell in the round while I still can.

I've never made a profit anyway. I'll just lose more money.

X 2 If they knew where to send the check they already had the information.

I’m not convinced yet that some other company won’t take advantage.

Email, them let them know what you think
I did.

Canada Goose wanted to certify the fur, they didn't want NAFA too. They had everything they used making the coats certified other than the fur. They had the down certified, the cloth, the zippers. It was what they wanted. Do you think they would fly people all over the world to talk about it if there weren't serous about it?

Good idea!

I'm only assuming this is how it would of went.

Year one- "We want you to sign this document saying you followed state laws and the fur is cruelty free"
Year Two- "We want to dictate what traps and methods are used"
Year Three- "We are going to synthetic to appease PETA types"

This is the ironic part of their announcement, and what everyone should focus on if they contact Canada Goose.

“The decision is driven by our purpose and our focus on sustainability and innovation,” Dani Reiss, president and chief executive officer, told WWD in an interview. “We know that consumers are putting more importance on brands and their sustainability.

I cannot think of a more sustainable renewable green product on the face of this earth than coyotes.

Email I sent.

Good day,

Heard the news you will not be using wild fur in your products anymore. Was curious what material you have found that is better than wild fur? Below is your company statement. Have you developed a new material to replace the coyote ruffs?

WE ARE A FUNCTION-FIRST COMPANY, AND AUTHENTICITY IS EVERYTHING TO CANADA GOOSE. SINCE 1957 WE HAVE FOCUSED ON MAKING BEST-IN-CLASS PRODUCTS BY USING THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP TO DELIVER A PRODUCT THAT PERFORMS WHEN AND WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST.

Or has your company’s policy changed on function first?

Not only does wild fur function great, look great, it is the most environmentally friendly product available. Please do not give in to PETA and produce more micro plastics.



Waste of time but made me feel better, not a hope in h$# i get a response.

You shouldn't assume

There is another Canadian company positioned to pick up the slack.
I heard they sell their parkas in Cabelas and use coyote.
Trappers need to support them.

Company name?

Yes, this is your assumption,
But how it really played is

CG- We would like you harvesters to sign a tractability/legal harvest paper
Most fur guys- Not happening CG, you need us to supply you a product!
CG- No we have other options
MFG- Oh yeah what options?
CG- Quit using fur.
MFG- Huh, who saw that coming.

OSC

I just looked at the Cabela's catalog and no coats are made by a company that starts with the letter O. Strike Master and Carhart have a coat with fake fur trim. When I went to OSC's site it listed them sold at Cabela's and had a link that you could go to Cabela's site and see coats. So I don't know what is up with that.
It looks to me like the OSC parka's as sold at Cabela's in Canada and not in the USA.

Bulloney.

Groenwald and Canadian AIHTS had all the certified coyotes CG would ever need. They could have used some kind of certified ranch fur for crying out loud.

CG is dancing to PETAs tune and their (certified) down feathers are next. PETA is putting on a show, a publicity stunt. That is what they do . What more do you need to know?

Go woke go broke.

They sell coats all over the world,probably not just thru Cabelas.Heard people have bought some at Cabelas.
Are Cabelas in any other country besides Canada and US?
Maybe Cabelas USA is anti fur.

Cabelas was bought out by bass pro. Cabelas used to sell traps, maybe still do.

My message at the bottom, their response above.

**This email was not sent from Canada Goose**
I could not be more disappointed reading the recent announcement that Canada Goose is "Going fur free". In these times when everyone seems to be professing to "Follow the science" it appears that Canada Goose is doing just the opposite, based on the following quote.

“The decision is driven by our purpose and our focus on sustainability and innovation,” Dani Reiss, president and chief executive officer, told WWD in an interview. “We know that consumers are putting more importance on brands and their sustainability.

If Canada Goose and their consumers were truly interested in sustainability, they would understand that coyote and other managed furbearers are the most sustainable, renewable and environmentally friendly resource that can be used to produce your end product. Not to mention the beauty, durability and functional qualities of this totally natural product.

Rather than cave to the pressure of animal rights ideology it would be refreshing to see a company of your stature and reputation speak up for sound wildlife management and responsible utilization of natural sustainable resources.

I respectfully ask you to please reconsider this decision which appears to have been made under social pressure in the absence of some important facts.

Thank you,

So if they have created a form letter, perhaps they are keeping track of how many times they have to reply to this complaint. Keep them coming.
