The EU has announced a proposed ban on the use of dog and cat fur in clothes after a vociferous campaign by animal rights activists.
A leading light in the drive for the ban was Heather Mills MsCartney. In fact she can be seen on her website posing with a rather luxurious coat made from 31 brown cats.

As a confirmed (and hopefully rational) omnivore. I really don’t see the difference between eating a cow and 'wearing' cat/dog gloves. Animal fur doesn't really do anything for me from a sartorial or aesthetic point of view, but as long as it's humanly sourced, I see no problem. Surely I can't be alone in thinking this?

I wonder, would the proposed law allow me to start a free range cat/dog fur farm? If I employed ethical breeding techniques to make sure tiddles and fido had a comfortable unbringing with plenty of stroking?

Maybe I could save everybody a lot of bother and kill two birds with one stone by rounding up all the strays fouling europes footpaths and make them into warm winter coats for the homeless?
