Progressive legislation to ban the entire fur trade in Israel is under discussion and a vote to outlaw the bloody trade will take place on September 2nd. Our movement has a unique opportunity to compel Israel to be the first country in the world to ban all aspects of the fur trade. However, the upcoming vote is under intense pressure from the fur trade from countries, like Denmark, where fur farming is big business, and of course Canada, where the annual seal hunt takes place. They fear that if Israel passes legislation to ban the fur trade outright that it may very well mean campaign groups will move to other countries to introduce similar legislation, which is, of course, what we plan on doing.
