It's horrifying to think of someone wearing cat or dog fur or using it for products, but there are countries all over the world who do it--Canada included. The nation allows the import of both domestic cat and dog fur, and for the fur to be sold as pelts alongside those of seals. The Canadian government heavily relies on the sale of baby seal fur, and they don't want anything to jeopardize that--including restrictions on dog and cat fur.
Not selling the fur of our pets seems like an obvious choice for compassion. Even the United States and European Union have signed on to ban the practice due to its cruelty--and likely the fact that pet owners could never imagine their companions being killed for their fur.
