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. The group originally wanted to assist in finding a "more humane" form of trapping wildlife, though in later years, decided to focus on ending the fur-trade in Canada. Recent activities include helping communities investigate illegal/domestic trapping, ending the import of dog and cat fur and assisting municipalities coexist with beavers.
