Why would anyone want to wear puppy fur or any fur for that matter?? :cry:

Heather Mills McCartney was on GMTV yesterday morning i think it was, i missed it though, just caught her saying "be happy in your own skin". I was pleased to see that, but i didn't realise it was all just about cat and dog fur imports, surely she's against all fur?


Animal rights activists estimate that 2 million cats and dogs are killed in Asia each year for their fur which is imported into Europe under false labels, saying it either fake fur

:surprised :furious:

Sky, thanks for bringing this issue up.

Not directly related, but I read recently the vast majority of rabbit comes from Asia now.

Cats and dogs - how horrific and terrifying.

This I don't understand:

Five European Union (news - web sites) states -- Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece and Italy -- have banned imports but the absence of a 25-nation bloc total ban means the trade cannot be halted.

Why wouldn't all the EU ban this? !!

Starlass, also cracking down on false labeling probably isn't being taken seriously enough. Why? I imagine it's money.

any fur is discusting in my opinion, but cats & dogs? that is even more awful.i wish they'd make fur illegal :(
