Episode 1: Canada Goose: Trying to Reach Celeb Laurent Duvernay-Tardif




Now You Know with Kathryn and Gen show

Summary: <p class="p1">In this episode, we call out Canada Goose for their misleading and arguably illegal claims about their humane treatment of coyotes and geese used in the making of their winter coat products. Listen as powerhouse animal rights lawyer Camille Labchuk of Animal Justice describes the horrific and unacceptable conditions these animals are forced to endure, all under the brand that is marketed to be distinctly Canadian. Canadians have had enough of this! Next come with us on our journey to reach Montreal native celebrity football player and medical school graduate, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, to ask for his help in spreading the message that we all need to think about what’s inside our winter coats, and to buy animal friendly alternatives to fur and feathers. Want to go a step farther? Write to Canada Goose and let them know as a consumer you demand that they move out of the fur and feathers business and instead begin using synthetic alternatives. If you already own one of their coats, why not make a home-made patch to cover their label that says: <b><i>Now We Know</i></b> to voice your resistance and let others know if you had known the truth about their treatment of animals, you would have made a different choice. Our message for Laurent to spread: <b>Choose cruelty free alternatives to fur and feathers when you buy your winter coat!</b></p>
