Friends of Fur (FoF)
provides the voice for the fur consumers. FoF is a group
of concerned citizens from all walks of life who want society to
know that they enjoy wearing fur products and that effective
wildlife management will sustain North America's founding
industry.
Friends of Fur aim is to enhance and preserve the
cultures that surround the fur trade, to educate and inform.
Friends of Fur is a national environmental and
educational organization. Specifically, it educates consumers
regarding “natural fur.”
We Are Making A Difference Environmentally by
linking the on-the-land activities of fur harvesters with the
consumer. Natural fur products have been part of the Canadian
landscape for many generations. The fur trade and now the fur
industry was Canada’s founding economic activity.
Fur harvesters are often referred to as the “true caretakers of
nature”, some of the only people who are part of and who understand the
ecological relationships that exist within nature. Two of which are
“carrying capacity” and the “cycle of disease, starvation and
predation.” Whether it be forestry or fishing, humankind has been
part of nature harvesting and protecting.
Fur is a natural product. Fur harvesting is a
sustainable activity
