In the opening statement of the Fur Council of Canada... it reads
A Canadian Heritage Industry in Harmony with Nature. When we buy and wear fur we support thousands of people living on the land and maintaining the centuries-old artisanal skills and knowledge.
This is a non profit information group. It is well worth checking out their web site for more information on the subject of Furs. They have an interesting part called furisgreen.com

Bryan and Vikki, Thank you for being out there and contributing all that you do for us. Your pageview counter is going up all the time. You DO have a lot of support so don't ever think you are alone. I think most of us wish we could be there too.
I guess there must be a lot of people out there who have never visited the real world! If you ask them where their food or anything else comes from, all they know is 'the store'. I wonder what they contribute to life?
All of our lives should be focused around sustainability. You have a small impact on the land and the animals you take are going about their business looking for food. They are taken quickly rather than consumed by another or dying rather slowly from injury or age.
I worked in a meat packing plant. Beef cows are treated poorly for the last few days of their life. If they're lucky there entire life was not spent knee-deep in their own waste in a nameless feedlot. The process of killing cows and butchering them almost before their last breath is not pretty. Everyone eating a burger should say a small prayer of thanks and ask forgiveness. The less pet-like consumable animals lead equally disgusting lives and deaths.
Please move on from this and share what you wish of your work, innovation and hard work. Thank you again for your postings. It's an ongoing highlight of my days.
I have given out that furisgreen website to a number of people who have criticized my craft. It is a fantastic site!
Well said Art. If people only knew what happens with the animals before their meat ends up in the stores.....perhaps they should investigate that!
