Urge the Toronto International Film Fest to Stop Taking Canada Goose's Blood Money!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)—one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world—continues to accept Canada Goose's sponsorship money, even though TIFF leadership knows that the company uses fur from wild coyotes who are caught in painful steel traps and down from birds who are violently slaughtered.

Coyotes are caught in steel traps so that Canada Goose can use their fur to trim its jackets. They can suffer for days with broken bones and wounds before trappers return to bludgeon or shoot them to death. Mothers desperate to get back to their pups have even been known to try to chew off their legs. And birds used for their down are inevitably sent to the slaughterhouse, where standard practice is to hang them upside down, stun them, and then slit their throats—often while they're still conscious.

After hearing from PETA about the way coyotes whose fur is used on Canada Goose jackets are violently killed, the Berlin International Film Festival confirmed that it had cut ties with the company in 2017. Please help coyotes and birds by urging TIFF to end its partnership with Canada Goose as long as it continues to use real fur and down.

I am dismayed that the Toronto International Film Festival—a celebration that brings the world to Hollywood North—tarnishes the festivities by associating itself with Canada Goose by accepting the company's sponsorship.

The fur trim on Canada Goose jackets comes from coyotes who are caught in steel traps. They can suffer for days with broken bones and wounds before they're bludgeoned or shot to death. The birds whose feathers are taken to fill jackets are violently killed at the slaughterhouse, where standard practice is to hang them upside down and slit their throats.

Cruelty can be found in every stitch of Canada Goose clothing, but festival attendees will see its name on the list of sponsors and watch as an award stamped with its name is handed out.

This sends the message that TIFF turns a blind eye to cruelty. Please, tell the world that animals have the right to be left in peace by ending the festival's association with Canada Goose.
