Dear Ministers,

I’m writing today in shock to learn that iconic Canadian wildlife species – wolves, bobcats, and lynx - are being commercially farmed for their fur in Canada’s agricultural sector. It is abhorrent that these wild animals are kept confined on fur farms, only to be killed so that their fur can be used in luxury fashion fur products.

Writing in 2023, I can’t believe that Canada still has fur farms operating from coast to coast. The discovery that wolves, bobcats, and lynx are being farmed for their fur puts Canada on the map for all the wrong reasons. Numerous countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Norway, and Italy have banned fur farming – why hasn’t Canada?

These animals are being killed for fashion products that no one needs. Fur farming is an unethical, unnecessary, and outdated practice that needs to end. A 2022 public opinion poll found that three quarters of Canadians support a national ban on fur farming. I am one of those tens of millions of Canadians that support a ban, and I am calling on the federal government to join the international community and end the horrific practice of farming animals for their fur.

Wild animals deserve to live wild and free in Canada, not held captive on fur farms so that a small handful of private interests can profit. Many provinces do not have any regulations for fur farming, raising serious concerns about the absence of government oversight and the animal welfare conditions in the fur farm sector nationwide. This industry has significant environmental impacts and endangers public health, as British Columbia’s 2021 ban on mink farming made clear.

It’s time for the federal government to take responsibility and move fur farming into the past. Thank you for your attention to this issue. Please let me know the steps you will take to end fur farming in Canada.
