Nothing is better then a soft pelt. Way to cave in canadian tire.
Did they even sell any products with real fur..maybe more so in their subsidiaries ?
If you wish to tell them how a great decision was made:

To be fair to the OP, CTC will not be selling fur in TWO of its subsidiaries. Sport Chek, and Atmosphere. Not really sure how much fur product they sold in those stores regardless, but your Marks parka will still have coyote on the hood, and you'll still be able to buy fur garments in their stores.
Whether or not, you as a consumer will reconcile their decision into shopping, or not shopping there will be entirely up to you the consumer.

THIS STORY IS FALSE!!!
Well - sort of!
Peta, Forechange and others really jumped the gun on this one in reporting that Canadian Tire and all their subsidiaries have banned fur due to their tireless petitioning efforts. In fact, this is VERY far from the truth! These groups are only using this as an excuse to raise money and claim a (very weak) success. Fact is, the stores are just adjusting inventory to what consumers want.
It is only TWO subsidiaries that are no longer "bringing in new stock of fur". Those are SportChek and Atmosphere - stores that had very little fur in the first place, and their statements are really not very strong - in fact they made it clear that the decision was NOT for ethical reasons, just for sales inventory reasons. If the fur isn't selling then they arent going to bring in more fur.
Direct Quote: "[COLOR=#000000]we are not fur free yet – but haven’t purchased any product containing fur this year. We are always evaluating product choices, depending on what customers are asking for. If people are asking for warm coats but fur free coats, that’s what we’ll go for. We do not have plans to add anymore animal fur trimmed products to our inventory at Sport Chek and Atmosphere locations."
That said, Canadian Tire does call themselves Canada's Hunting and Fishing Store... so should be supporting the fur industry IMHO.
To be clear too, it's not the OP that has it wrong, rather it is the idiots at places like PETA who want people to believe that they had anything at all to do with this decision as a way to justify donations.
Eretha Franklin still sings the national anthem at sporting events plus songs at the grammies etc. She always wears a full length fur coat. Still considered a huge star, I love that she does that rather than bow to the political correctness that is taking over free thought.
I communicated with an OFAH representative today regarding this issue. I expect that we will receive clarification on the positions of CTC and the OFAH on this matter early in the coming week.
Just very brief communication to ensure they were addressing the issue.Quote:

I agree with what you have said here, except for the first part of your last sentence. However, I stand by my suggestion to contact CTC. If they choose to ban "unethical" fur, let them tell us so. But it is my understanding that one of the brands affected is Canada Goose. Anyhow, the OFAH representative I have been communicating with (today as well), has assured me that the org will be making queries to ascertain the authenticity of the anti-fur groups claims, and go forward accordingly.Quote:

Kudos to you.
Yes, your suggestion to contact CTC is a fine one and I agree wholeheartedly.
A search of the 130,000 items available online revealed a handful of faux fur
products but nothing came up as being real fur including the trapper hat. So, some truth to it.
Same with Mark's.

Actually, now I'm trying to recall ever seeing taxidermy mounts in their stores or just the fake decoys?
Answered my own question. They have a couple...lol

Many were shocked this week when PETA announced that Canadian Tire and its affiliates would no longer sell fur products “after being shown how animals were mistreated”.Those who contact Canadian Tire for an explanation are receiving the following carefully-worded statement:
Over a year ago two of our banners, Sport Chek and Atmosphere, made a decision that reflects the preferences of their customers. We continuously evaluate the types of products we carry in our stores and from time to time we make shifts in our assortment. We are aware of communications that indicated this decision reflects all of our banners but this is not the case.
Of course, by removing fur from their stores, Canadian Tire is not respecting “the preferences of their customers”, but denying them the right to choose for themselves.
Many people are shocked and disappointed that Canadian Tire would let animal extremists dictate their merchandising policies. Canadian Tire is one of Canada’s most important retailers of hunting, trapping and fishing equipment – a $4 BILLION business in this country. Don’t they understand that these same activists also oppose hunting and fishing? Don’t they know that the activist websites are already asking when Atmosphere and Sport Chek will also get rid of their down-filled apparel and leather products?
Some have already said they won’t be doing their Christmas – or Boxing Day! – shopping at Canadian Tire “banners” this year. One person who usually buys $5,000 in Canadian Tire gift certificates for his employees at Christmas has decided to look elsewhere. We have even been contacted by a leader of the medical research community who will boycott Canadian Tire because of the danger that extremists like PETA pose to vital medical research.
What Can You Do?
Maybe it’s time to ask Canadian Tire to let their customers – their real customers – decide for themselves which products they want to buy?
Maybe it’s time for Canadian Tire to state clearly whether they support PETA, or the tens of thousands of hunters, trappers and fishers who support their business?
And maybe it’s time to visit your local Atmosphere or Sport Chek to see their fur-trimmed parkas? And if they don’t have any, ask why not?! (After all, they claim to respect “customers’ preferences”.)

The news broke online earlier this week through social media, but The Fur-Bearers have officially verified that two of the corporation’s large subsidiaries are moving away from the selling of fur through three sources.
Sport Chek told The Fur-Bearers: We’re continuously evaluating the types of products we carry in our stores across Canada to bring our customers what they need to support their healthy, active lifestyle. We are managing through our remaining inventory but at this time, we do not have plans to add anymore animal fur trimmed products to our inventory at Sport Chek and Atmosphere locations.
Atmosphere told The Fur-Bearers: Our official reply is that we are not fur free yet – but haven’t purchased any product containing fur this year. We are always evaluating product choices, depending on what customers are asking for. If people are asking for warm coats but fur free coats, that’s what we’ll go for. (Note: Atmosphere has been a long-time supplier of Canada Goose coats)
Canadian Tire told The Fur-Bearers: At this time, only Sport Chek and Atmosphere have been identified.
