Israel may BAN fur!
Israel creates a precedent by submitting the world’s first nationwide bill “Prohibiting the Industry of Fur”. Knesset member Nitzan Horowitz proposed on March, 18th 2009 a bill to prohibit the fur industry in its entirety, including all importation, production and all sales in Israel; illuminating that his intention is "not to lend a hand to this cruelty towards animals.”
In light of this bill, Israel takes a giant leap forward; from having no existing law concerning fur; to becoming the first nation on the planet to completely protect all fur bearing animals from the suffering and death inflicted upon millions of animals at the hands of the fur industry the world over.
"The International Anti-Fur Coalition’ thanks MK Nitzan Horowitz for his proposal and we call all MKs to support this bill," said Jane Halevy, Director of the ’International Anti-Fur Coalition’. "We hope that Israel will inspire other countries and they too will propose comparable bills throughout the world".
Last month, a report on Israel’s channel 10, led by SPCA Israel and International Anti-Fur Coalition, had revealed that items from the top fashion chain stores to cheap toys in bazaars, that what was being sold as fake fur was indeed real fur. Lab tests had shown that several articles taken from leading Israeli brands and sold as fake fur were made of dog and rabbit fur!
Each year millions of animals are brutally killed for their fur throughout the world. Animals live in tiny cages made only of wire, before being gassed, electrocuted or even skinned alive! Footage shows that some of them fight against death for up to 10 minutes in total anguish after being skinned alive!

Year of the Dog (Massacre) in China
In a disproportionate and horrifyingly brutal response to three human deaths from rabies, Yunnan officials have massacred 54,000 dogs and plan to kill another 500,000. All of this could have been avoided had China taken part in cost-effective and humane trap/neuter/release, spay/neuter, animal birth control, mandatory vaccination and public education programs. The unimaginable cruelty and brutality involved in killing these animals seems even more vile in light of recent celebrations of the Year of the Dog, in which pampered canine companions were glorified. This gruesome massacre, in which China has shown a blatant disregard for animals and the people who love them, has been drawing international outrage. In case their skinning of cats, dogs, and other animals alive for fur (as evidenced in undercover videos circulated last year) was not enough, this latest abomination screams out for a worldwide boycott of China.
