Fur sales banned in W Hollywood

[JOSweetHeart]

P.S. If the fur has to be real, to me, it should be from an animal that is already being "used" for other things.

What the heck else are you going to "use" a mink for?

What I said there is that if fur has to be real, it should be from an animal that is already being used for food or anything else that is done with a dead animal.

God bless you always!!!

And one more thing:

Fur is to Leather what Assault Weapons are to Non-Assault Weapons....the distinction for each is Purely Cosmetic.

of course. but leftards are stupid. they don't see beyond the talking points of the brainwash for the day

Just to make it clear, one doesn't have to be a liberal to dislike the use of animal furs.

I am not a liberal and still do not approve of wearing furs.

I like fashion, but I like this more.

"According to the Humane Society of the United States, the fashion industry's fur trade results in more than 50 million animal deaths per year, a figure that the city has put before its coveted title as West Coast fashion capital.

“We’ve consistently worked to enact cutting-edge animal welfare legislation," city spokeswoman Tamara White told ABC. "This is in line with our values.”

You're mistaken if you think the entire animal isn't used. Mink oil is used in cosmetics, and the carcasses are used for a variety or purposes: food for other animals in zoos and for fish in aquariums, crab bait, and fertilizer.

Good. There is no reason at all to slaughter an animal so you can have a nice new coat.

Nonsense. Most fur is ranched...just the same as cows and chickens.

And wearing leather really isn't any different than wearing fur...they are both skins.

Farming is far worse than trapping.

Tiny cages filled with animals who have gone insane are finally put out of their misery with an electric prod up their anus and teased until they bite the other end.

Its anything BUT "fabulous".

Steffy

really, leave it to you city slickers to come up with this...good thing you don't live in a cold climate that gets to 30 to 75 below zero, but you go tell that to the Native Indians tribes and Native Alaskans tribes they don't need to be slaughtering animals for their fur...by the way, how many minks do you have pets?

Never been to West Hollywood, have you.

You must be the most bitter ad unhappy person on the damn planet. Christ on a crutch, you and katzen, the venom fairly drips from your words. Seriously, have you ever had a happy thought or posted something positive?

But OBAMAS sons can shoot a white baby in the face and not one fanatic says a word .

Exept to rant that the murderer should go free!!

I inherited a few furs, which are fabulous.

And I bet they will come in very handy during the upcoming Ice Age.

Im looking forward to that and clubbing seals.

No reason to wear fur in West Hollywood. It's obscene anyway.

I love that it makes the wearer look FAT!

This is very speciest.

7 Billion chickens are killed each year for food.

42 Million cows "suffer and die" for the meat and dairy industries each year.

300 Million turkeys are killed for food each year.

and so on.

Anyone who eats meat and/or wears leather and thinks fur is bad is a being rather hypocritical

NY bans electrocution of animals for fur - NY Daily News

April 30, 2008

New York has become the first state in the nation to ban the electrocution of animals in a particularly gruesome way to harvest their fur.

The law bans the practice of anal and genital electrocution of fur-bearing animals, including mink, foxes, chinchillas and rabbits. The misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail.

Not specist at all.

This particular thread concerned a law banning the sale of fur. If you would like to also have a thread about the inherent and mind numbing cruelty of the livestock industry, by all means, start one.

And, yes, you're right about the incredible numbers of animals raised, transported and slaughtered in the US, in the most cruel ways imaginable. Like everything else, we have to do it in excess and on an assembly line basis.

I've been to two slaughterhouses. If I had not already been a strict vegetarian, that would have persuaded me.

No matter how bad you might imagine it to be, it is a million times worse.

No.

Do you wear leather? Eat meat? Use bio fuels? Use car or bicycle tires? Use toothpaste? Eat sugar? Use plastic bags?

I have posted before that its impossible to be really vegan because there are slaughterhouse byproducts in damn near everything.

So?

Live the way you want. But, don't criticize me for being vegetarian, not wearing leather and for avoiding whatever animal byproducts I can.

Don't pretend that torturing animals for their fur is "fabulous". And, don't take your insecurity and defensiveness out on me. If you didn't feel guilt and shame, you wouldn't be grilling me on my diet!

 

[boedicca]

Oh blah blah blah.

I never advocated for torturing any animal for any purpose. But if you use animal products, then you are a hypocrite for opposing fur.

Just as free range chickens are raised more humanely than factory raised ones, not all fur animals are "tortured".

And as I noted earlier, you are falling for the Assault Weapons equivalent. It's purely a cosmetic distinction. Fur and leather are both skins.

Like guns in Chicago, the buyer can walk across the street to buy dead animal skins and its largely symbolic, but still --- Its a step in the right direction.

West Hollywood, Calif. Becomes First City In The U.S. To Ban Fur Sales

Los Angelenos, rejoice!

Last weekend, West Hollywood officially became the first city in the country to ban the sale of wearable fur in retail stores. City council members passed the law by unanimous vote 2 years ago, and it finally went into effect on Sept. 21, 2013, ABC reports.

The ban will apply to all articles of clothing -- anything made to be worn -- but not to furniture items, blankets, or leather products.

considering southern CA is far to warm to wear fur......... its rather funny.

However, anyone how can afford furs, could really care less id they make their purchases in w Hollywood or elsewhere.

I love my fur hats...... I will be wearing the to NYC in the winter.


that being said, i wonder if the ban also includes wool. That is a "fur" It is also ironic it exempts leather... which is about the same thing as fir.
