USA legislative alert
We may be able to close the loophole that could let a merchant
sell you garments containing animal fur--without labeling it as such! Please ask your Representative to support and co-sponsor H.R. 4904, the Truth in Fur Labeling Act. This bill will amend the 1951 Fur Products Labeling Act to require that garments containing less than $150 worth of fur label it with the type of fur and country of origin. I hope you will join me in urging your Representative to support this bill. It only takes a minute. Here is the link: https://community.hsus.org/campaign/...=Udzy7ls1LXhKW Victor |

But I am concerned about all animal fur, not just dog and cat fur. I think people should be able to make an informed choice about what they buy, which they cannot do if they don't know what's in the article they're buying. Thanks for posting. Joyce |

Joyce Hey, if you wanna know something bad re "fur" (not cat or dog fur): in Sunday's paper I read some guy from NY went to Africa and brought back several goat skins as he makes drums with "skin" drumheads (did you know lotsa drums have animal skin "heads" (the part they drum on)?)....anyway shortly after he got back to the states he came down with airborne *anthrax* from those goat skins, which were loaded with the spores. He is under intensive care in a Penn. hospital now. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been ebola or flesh-eating faciitis (sp?) but *anthrax*!?? Anyway, how's that for animal revenge? I've passed this 411 on to a relative who plays congas in several bands and knows people who mfgr.and repair drums. |
