Canada Goose has successfully entered the US market in 2014, with sales topping $30 million in just one year. The company’s CEO has views the US as ‘the market with the greatest potential in the world’. The company has also enjoyed a spectacular increase in sales in Europe as well.
Coates are manufactured in Toronto and Winnipeg, but the company has recently opened another plant in Denver, Colorado, its first outside Canada.
A family-founded business that dates back from 1957, the company uses real coyote fur to make its fashionable and popular fur trimmed hoods and down stuffed coats. What most people do not know or choose to ignore is that wild animals such as coyotes are inhumanely trapped in the wild and left to suffer for days for the sake of fashion. When trappers return, the animals are frightened, starving and severely injured. Then the coyotes are either pounded with huge sticks or chocked.
However, Canada Goose claims that it is supporting local communities of Canada where trapping has been happening for the past 300 years.
‘Our fur is purchased by authorized trappers and not from fur farms or endangered animals’ the company stated.
Animal rights group PETA has also slammed Canada Goose for their highly unethical behavior. ‘Canada Goose only uses coyote fur on the trim of their coasts and those animals have been trapped in a way that is simply inhumane’ Director of campaigns Lindsay Rajt stated.
Ask Canada Goose to stop using real fur to make their apparel! This
unspeakable suffering of thousands of animals needs to come to an end. The true
cost of these must-have trimmed coasts is simply not worth this tremendous
pain.
