We have a lot of Inuits living up north who use animals to survive and make a living. Since we have three coasts, fishing is huge. Fisherpeople also supplement their incomes with seal killing in the off-season. Remember that Canada was originally THE place to get furs for the wealthy in Europe. The beaver is on our currency NOT because we love the little guys but because beaver pelts were so desirable and such a big part of our history. There are a lot of groups that speak out against the fur industry however. A couple of years ago I designed a billboard against the fur industry that ran for approximately four months. Fur Bearer Defenders is a really good group too. They erected a billboard a few years back as well but the fur industry complained to the government so the government revoked Fur Bearer Defender's charitable status. Powerful forces at work here. .-= Daniel´s last blog ..<a href="http://veganpartyofcanada.blogspot.com/2009/10/big-meats-scare-tactics.html" rel="nofollow">Big Meat's Scare Tactics</a> =-.
