The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals was officially formed in British Columbia in 1954 under the leadership of Canadian politician Edward Ernest Winch[1]. The group originally wanted to assist in finding a "more humane" form of trapping wildlife[2], though in later years, decided to focus on ending 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 coexist with beavers[6].
