This just downright sucks!

Warning! The following journal may just be a rant!
Doing some research for the book I'm writing, and I encounter some rather horrible tidbits of information:
It is legal to farm fox, mink and chinchillas for their fur, in Canada.
It is legal to trap, for the purpose of obtaining fur; beaver, muskrat, raccoon, coyote and fox, in Canada.
And they define their method of slaughtering the animals; carbon monoxide gas; as humane. Yeah, sure, it's quick and all, but seriously, if we started putting down humans like that, people would be in an uproar...
Is it just me, or does this seem despicable?...
Oh, and at least here in Canada, all acts and regulations dealing with these animals have little to do with the wellbeing of the animal itself; it's usually about licensing or record keeping...
urgh...
