It’s a new year, meaning lots of new laws are taking effect throughout the land, including a ban on fur in California. More accurately, a ban on the sale and manufacturing of\u00a0new<\/em>\u00a0fur products. This kind of thing has become par for the course in California, so it shouldn’t be a surprise \u2013 though it\u00a0should<\/em>\u00a0be troubling to you, regardless of whether or not you choose to wear real fur. The hubris of a congresswoman from sunny Glendale, California announcing to the rest of the world that fur is over \u2013 and further, that it has no place in a \u201csustainable future\u201d (how many hundreds of years will it take for that faux fur coat to biodegrade, again?) would almost be laughable if there were no real-world consequences or precedents from her bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike animal issues related to things like food production or pets that virtually everybody has a stake in, fur can be exploited by its opponents by tying it to displays of ostentatious wealth and its lack of functionality in many climates of the world (see: Glendale, California). Combining divide-and-conquer tactics with a side of pragmatic-sounding \u201cand do we really even need<\/em> this?\u201d can be really effective. This means that as far as cause-marketed issues go, fur is fairly low-hanging fruit. Opponents of the ban were correct in saying it ultimately boiled down to one class of people wanting to tell another class what they could buy\/wear…. which, again, should be highly concerning, regardless of one’s feelings about wearing fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
