Neville introduces bill to ban cat, dog fur products
Liberal MP Anita Neville has introduced a private member's bill to ban the sale and import of cat and dog fur. Now I'm not keen on coats made of these materials, but there's something kind of funny about this. If she wanted to ban all fur or, more realistically, require any fur sold to be certified as meeting minimum standards (including inspections of facilities, whether it's a mink farm or a cat farm), I'd have more respect; as it stands, it comes across as a case of "OMG! People who look different from us are killing animals different from the ones we kill!"
