Trudeau Christmas Card
Liberal MP Justin Trudeau gave animal rights activists the equivalent to a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings when they got news of this holiday card picturing he and his family wrapped in clothing made from coyote fur.
Trudeau said he gladly supports Canadian products and “sustainable fur,” but insists no political statement was meant by what he called a simple Christmas card.
One member of PETA commented, saying, “I think it was disturbing, especially at this time of year in a greeting card. Where is the cheer in wearing the skins of animals?”
The group also states that coyotes killed for fur are trapped in steel-jaw devices that have been banned in some countries. In addition, family pets such as cats and dogs can become entrapped in them.
“Many a Canadian Christmas has been ruined after a family dog or cat has died in one of these traps,” the spokesperson for PETA insists. “Wearing the product of such misery for a Christmas card is a pretty lurid way of celebrating peace on Earth.”
