New York City Council Considering Banning Fur

Lawmakers in New York City will hold a hearing Wednesday on a measure that would ban the sale of nearly all new fur products.
City council Speaker Corey Johnson sponsored the fur ban that will be the centerpiece of a hearing at City Hall Wednesday afternoon. The bill bans the sale of all fur, except for sales of used fur apparel and fur garments worn for religious reasons.
The bill is fervently supported by radical animal rights activists and leftwing celebrities. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals claim that the industry is cruel to animals. Actress Angelic Huston wrote an op-ed in the Daily News in April calling for the ban, arguing that it would protect consumers whom she claimed may unknowingly be buying dog and cat fur. Project Runway’s Tim Gunn also wrote an op-ed supporting the ban.
Business owners said the ban will cost New Yorkers jobs and hurt family businesses. Fur businesses in New York employ 1,100 people, according to the Fur Council of America, an industry group.
The bill is also opposed by a coalition of African American leaders who say the bill is an attack on black culture. On Monday, more than 100 black pastors signed a letter decrying the ban.
“Fur has given black people standing, fortitude and strength in the face of bigotry, injustice, and intolerance throughout history,” the letter argued.
The letter pointed out that while city residents would be denied the opportunity to buy fur, it would remain available in surburbs around the city.
“No urban city should be treated less fairly than its wealthier suburban neighbors on any issue,” the letter said.
Last week, a rally of black clergy and other community leaders rallied at City Hall to demonstrate their opposition. Several wore fur hats despite temperatures near 70 degrees, according to a report from Patch.com.
“People feel complete when they put on something that they worked hard for, they have sacrificed for,” said the Rev. Phil Craig, according to Patch.
Animal rights activists and supporters of furriers in New York are expected to attend Wednesday’s hearings.
San Francisco and Los Angeles have already banned fur sales.

Can't fix stupid. Libs are all about denying someone else of what they want to do. Most understanding people on the planet! lol. And smarter than everyone else!

ban, ban, ban, tax, tax, tax, blame, blame, blame. They need to get outside more.

Go to Manhattan 2019 and you would say the fur industry were Trying to kill itself. Or should I be nice and not say the truth? I could write a book from my layman's perspective. But why?

They should cut all of the bridges and let NYC flat out to sea, but that would only pollute the ocean. What a collection of idiot politicans.

Good luck with the meeting, I hope it comes out in our favor.

"To protect consumers from buying dog and cat fur"

Wait whaasst? Coyotes are what now? Not to mention Bob CATS!

movie "Stars", hard to understand why people believe someone who plays a fake character in a world that doesn't exist

You realize if this passes it's all over. I don't think it will pass, but if fur is ban in NYC we are very near the end.

Is anyone going to or at the hearing? I'm texting back and fourth with my mother in law who is already there.

There is a vocal minority out there, that are flat-out insane. Banning fur isjust the beginning. They want to ban hamburgers, pets, all domestic livestock in fact, you might as well say bye-bye to all domestic animals if they ever get to be in charge. And harvesting wildlife? Nope, they want full protection on everything, right down to the mice in your attic. I've had conversations with these people and they will scare you with thier fanaticism.

She was asking for family pictures of trapped fur to show to the "conservation guy from Kansas and the Canadian trapper dude testifying"
So I asked for pictures of the no fur ban rally. I also got a video which I can't seem to upload.

You didn't mention, they know what's best for you.

Mike Obrien from Ontario and Matt Peek from Kansas- you guys on here/ do we know them?

I don't like iced coffee, and the government should ban the sale of it....LOL.

I am unable to watch it on my phone.

I can't type here what my thoughts about the NYC politicos .... I would get a looooooong forced holiday and Pauls eyes would be stinging for weeks and he would probably develop a twitch like the boss of inspector Clousau in " The pink Panther"

It's live now...

Around here, ( Hilton Head Island SC ) the tree huggers have been throwing spanners in the works as far as trapping and hunting goes to no end. I and a few folks that I know around here have said, screw it, we won't trap and hunt her anymore. In the last 4 or so years the song dogs have been multiplying in a big way. Now they are crapping in the tree huggers flowerbeds and eat their pets. All of a sudden they are all crying that the town should do something about the situation.
I just sit back and enjoy the show.
Nothing dumber than people.
By the By I see quite a few NY plates around here. Could that have something to do with it ??

I'm tuned in. Some twit just claimed most animals are skinned alive. So much for fact- and evidence-based testimonial.
