Run Out Of Things To Ban Yet?

Apparently there's more than one way to skin a cat. EU to ”take action” on the trade in cat and dog fur.

Puke-worthy as the notion is, they present no data on whether the neighbor’s Pomeranian is actually becoming a cuff lining. Methinks Madame’s cloak fringe doesn’t quite have the sentimental value of letting a taxidermist have a go at Fido.

“They do not find it acceptable to farm cats and dogs for their fur, nor do they want products containing such fur sold on the European market.” But the EU has done nothing to heed popular calls for a ban on fox, rabbit or mink furs.

The UK NGO Advocates for Animals estimates that more than half the world’s mink are bred in Scandinavia - where there are more than 10,000 fur factory farms. “Two thirds of all fox bred for fur come from Finland,” the NGO added in a statement.

In other words, the ban on pelts from Minks, Fox, Nutrias, rat or whatever other creatures bred for the purpose are ignored. Failing that, they try to ban something else that might once and for all prove the reflex to control people a success.


Come on, punk. Make my day.
