Israel Makes History, Becomes First Country to Ban Fur

On June 9, Israel became the first country in the world to ban the sale of animal fur.

Animal rights group PETA praised this historic ban as a victory after Israel's Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel signed the move into law, after 86 percent of the country supported the proposal.

As PETA's announcement said, "For decades, PETA and our international affiliates have exposed horrific cruelty on fur farms, demonstrating that animals spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages."

The animal rights group collected numerous video investigations over the years of how fur farmers sometimes keep these animals in unsanitary conditions, and the sometimes indecent methods used for killing them.

I don't own any fur clothing. I guess I'd consider it if I was cold enough.
