Quebec has some serious flaws in its animal protection laws. Sadly in Canada it is a provincial matter and the rest of us can't intervene.
You are right, we need to stop buying furs. If there is no market they will close out the fur farms. Much of Canada's history is linked with the fur trade, but we can move beyond our past. Fur is no longer being worn as a survival tool. It is a so called fashion statement.
If designers would stop using fur it would stop being fashionable. If people boycotted the designer or store that carries fur, the whole situation would change.
Shame on the government ministry that turns a blind eye to the abuses.
