The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals, also known as the Fur-bearer Defenders, was officially formed in British Columbia in 1954 under the leadership of Canadian politician Edward Ernest Winch.[1] The group's original aims were to assist in finding a "more humane" form of trapping wildlife,[2] though in later years they decided to focus on trying to end the fur-trade in Canada.[3] Recent activities include helping communities investigate illegal/domestic trapping,[4] ending the import of dog and cat fur,[5] and assisting municipalities in coexisting with beavers.[6]
