Help Stop the Fur Council of Canada From Misleading Consumers

Concerned Canadians have filed a complaint with Canada's Competition Bureau regarding the Fur Council of Canada's (FCC) outrageous claims that fur is "environmentally friendly." The complaint contends not only that these claims are false but also that they deliberately mislead consumers into thinking that buying fur helps the environment. Click here to read the complaint.

The fur industry pollutes the environment with highly toxic chemicals, including sulfuric acid, formaldehyde, and ammonia. A farmed-fur coat takes at least 20 times more energy to produce than a faux-fur coat, and dressing and dyeing furs is classified as high-polluting by China's National Environment Protection Bureau. More than 60 percent of the animals used for fur garments are bred by the Canadian fur industry specifically to be killed for their pelts, in direct contradiction to the FCC's claims of balancing "surplus" populations of animals.
