Cat and dog fur is not easily distinguishable from other types of fur or synthetic material used to imitate fur. This is in particular the case when fur is used as lining or ornament on clothes (e.g. collar of a coat) or on toys or accessories (e.g. key rings with furry animals).

The Fur Institute was established in 1983 by the Council of Wildlife Ministers to act as a round table on animal welfare and conservation issues in relation to fur-bearing animals in Canada.

The Finnish delegation told the Council of its concern that some Member States might take unilateral steps to ban fur farming, when the Commission Scientific Veterinary Committee was engaged on preparing a report on the welfare of fur farm animals.

The mandate from them was to organize an institute that was multisectoral, where all of the members would be there to see to the best interests of the trade, and to ensure that included in our membership were governments of the provinces and territories, the federal government, trappers organizations, fur farmers, aboriginal people, conservation agencies, animal welfare agencies versus animal rights agencies—who obviously do not share our goals and objectives—and all of the downstream sector of the fur trade, including the manufacturers, the auction houses, the dressers and dyers, and obviously the retail sector.
