The Bright Red of "Canada Goose" Garment Labels - A Message of Animal Suffering


The real Canada goose may be beautiful. But, nothing pretty or technically evolved about the torture and death of coyotes and geese to produce garments of animal suffering. Down is dead. 
Here in NYC, the bright red designer labels imprinted upon outerwear sleeves are seen everywhere. 
.
But, the critical article below focuses on the horrific trapping of coyotes as trimming for popular "Canada Goose" jackets and coats:

Of course, it is not just coyotes who suffer the tortures of the damned to produce these products.  Geese are either slaughtered for down filling or in some cases are lived-plucked.
.
Earlier in the season, I purchased 100% man-made (polyester fiber) puffer coats for myself and my daughter from Abercrombie and Fitch similar in appearance to the "Canada Goose" stuff. (Its important to carefully read labels inside coats and jackets to determine all materials used for it.) Even in minus 12 degree Buffalo weather, Tara, my daughter, says its the warmest coat she has ever had. 
.
My coat has a faux fur trimmed hood which has kept me toasty all winter. The coat has become my most treasured possession -- especially in this particularly frigid season. When last month, temperatures plunged to 8 degrees in New York City, I walked through Central Park with just a thin sweater under my coat and was perfectly fine.
.
There is no excuse in the word to market garments of such unspeakable animal cruelty when we have the technology today to produce incredible outerwear that is both fashionable and far warmer than anything on an animal.
.
The article above is important and should be shared with anyone thinking of buying Canada Goose products.

The bright red of Canada Goose garment labels might as well be written in the blood of their victims.  --PCA
