ECCO LA LETTERA INOLTRATA DAL PETA UK ALL’AZIENDA CANADA GOOSE per chiedere di non usare più coyote scuoiati sui giubbotti. Potete scrivere anche voi usando la lettera in questione ma è meglio inviare un messaggio personalizzato su fb o email:
“I was shocked to learn that despite the fact that the majority of Canadians and global citizens abhor the use of fur, Canada Goose is still selling jackets made with fur from trapped coyotes and down from dead geese. It is critical that you transition the company to animal- and eco-friendly faux-fur trim and synthetic down today.
Fur is the product of cruelty no matter where it comes from. The Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standardsapproved body-gripping and leg-hold traps that you cite to prove Canada Goose’s commitment to “the humane treatment of animals” still prevent coyotes from escaping, and all too often, these animals languish against their will in these traps, typically for 24 to 72 hours. Mothers desperate to get back to their starving pups have been known to attempt to chew off their own limbs to escape. Animals who don’t succumb to the elements, blood loss, infection, or predators are often strangled, stomped on, or bludgeoned to death when the trapper returns.
As for down, this product is not only inhumane but also inconsistent with your company’s promotion of compassion and environmental stewardship. It is impossible to track feathers back to their original supplier and determine how they were obtained since the physical products all look exactly the same, and ultimately, birds who are not plucked alive or force-fed still spend their entire lives in crowded, filthy conditions on factory farms before being killed in a violent, painful way.
In the 21st century, people can choose to be cruel or kind. With so many cruelty-free options available today that are durable, innovative, and warm, there is no need to use animal fur and goose down.
If you refuse to adjust your business model, ask anyone who knows–knows about the importance of compassion in business, that is–and you’ll find that not only is it well known that Canada Goose is selling dead animals, it is also thought that the company is a dying brand as growing numbers of conscious consumers turn their back on it and its cruel ways.”
