West Hollywood made history by once again voting to become the first city in the nation to ban the sale of clothing apparel with animal fur Monday night. But the third time around, the vote showed a City Council deeply divided on the issue.
The previous two times, the fur ban has come up for a vote—at the May 16 and Sept. 19 council meetings—the five council members approved the measure unanimously. This time, the ordinance passed with just three votes.
TOPICS: Weird Stuff
KEYWORDS:
>>Resident Ed Buck, one of the leaders of the Fur Free Weho movement, said, “I’m so incredibly proud that my city council not only had a moral compass, but used it.”<<
They took away the belt I was going to hang myself with.

Does the ban include wool?

Technically leather is just fur with the fur removed, so is that banned too?

The commie girlymen make “history” again! It’s absolutely amazing what the homosexuals and pedophiles in the MSM consider as being history these days.

Apparently the threat of losing the costume designer vote wasn’t enough to save the day.
