			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an internal memo issued this week, government officials in Canada urged Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz not to ban cat and dog fur imports, arguing that such a ban would weaken Canada&#8217;s position against the banning of seal products by other countries.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" style="color: #1b8abe; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFqov/zJTA/bJI.5" target="_blank">Tell Prime Minister Harper and Minister Ritz that you do not support the import of cat and dog fur &#8211; or the commercial seal slaughter &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>This sentiment goes against the vast majority of Canadians who decry the annual seal hunt and the government&#8217;s effort to protect the seal fur trade.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, a large number of the estimated 2 million dog and cat skins originate in China, where regulations are virtually nonexistent and animal suffering is beyond extreme.</p>
<p>And because Canada has no labeling requirements for fur garments, it is nearly impossible for consumers to avoid the cruelty-ridden skins.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" style="color: #1b8abe; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFqov/zJTA/bJI.5" target="_blank">Take action &gt;&gt;</a></p>
<p>The United States and the European Union already prohibit the import of dog and cat fur. <strong>It&#8217;s time for Canada to follow suit! </strong></p>
<p>Thank you for everything you do&#8230;.</p>
