>Following today’s registration, the organizers can start collecting signatures. If a European Citizens’ Initiative receives one million statements of support within one year from at least seven different Member States, the Commission will have to react. The Commission could decide either to take the request forward or not, and will be required to explain its reasoning.
Can we also go for Furry Free Europe while we are at it?
RIP furries
Yeah but what are they going to use instead of fur? If the answer is a plastic product, no thanks.
I am not a fan of fur, but synthetics are even worse.
I hate animal rights groups and I hate vegetarians. That is all.
Real fur is far more sustainable than synthetic alternatives. Especially if it is fur from animals which are used otherwise as well, such a rabbits/hares for example.
In many cases, meat production and animal farming is cruelty. But whether fur is sourced or not makes no difference.
I support the banning of fur if the animals are killed just for it, such as foxes or ermine.
But I’m not educated on the subject. Fur sourcing and animal farming im general are complicated topics, both from a sustainability as well as a animal rights view point.
