In 2009, we are calling for a boycott of The Bay until it stops
selling fur. As Canadians, we have a right to demand that The
Bay become the environmentally and socially responsible company
it markets itself to be. Don't delay, take action today! Fur is
not environmentally and socially responsible. It is destructive
to the environment and is polluting our land and water. It is
killing animals and decimating native species of wildlife. Human
beings are getting sick because of the waste and chemicals from
fur farms. Fur is NOT Green. About 70% of animals are raised for
fur in fur farms. They must be fed, watered using resources;
they then produce feces and urine which pollute our water. In
fact around many fur farms the water is so polluted that human
beings are getting sick. To prevent fur from rotting it is
treated with harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde which causes
cancers in humans and destroys the environment. Of the 30%
caught in traps, most are “trash animals” (birds, porcupines,
deer, cats, dogs) whi
