Model Kate Upton is receiving pushback on social media for preaching kindness toward polar bears while partnering with Canada Goose — a company that uses real fur.
Kate Upton took to social media on Wednesday to share that she was celebrating World Kindness Day. But the beautiful photo of her and her husband, Justin Verlander, didn’t receive such a welcome response as people realized it was in partnership with Canada Goose.
“Supporting a cause for animal welfare while supporting a brand made of mostly animals,” one person commented, while another said, “This company literally kills animals for fashion,” referring to Canada Goose.“Trapping coyotes for their fur in horrific leg traps absolutely despicable!” added another.
A section of the website is dedicated to the explanation of the company’s transparency standards and sourcing of the down, fur and wool used to make the products. Still, Newsweek explains that not all of Canada Goose’s sourcing is as ethically dubious it seems. For one, the coyote traps used to source the brand’s coat fur are in accordance with Canada's Agreement of International Humane Trapping Standards , although some of those traps are banned in dozens of other countries.
