Canada was born on the back of the fur-bearing animal. Since the time of first contact, trapping and the fur trade was a part of the Canadian identity. But by the 1930s, a small band of individuals believed that trapping was not humane – that alternatives must be available. That was the start of The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals (APFA). This narrative from award-winning journalist and APFA staffer Michael Howie explores the history of the organization over the course of its storied life – and offers a glimpse into the future of a fur-free Canada.
