Here’s some good news for those who don’t want to wear fur.
California is sending a proposed law to the State Senate that would require special labels for any clothes made of fur.
The state currently allows many fur products to go unlabeled if they use less than $150 worth of animal fur.
Author of the bill Fiona Ma said in a statement following the 46 to 7 vote:
“I think there is an expectation that if clothing isn├óΓé¼Γäót labeled as real fur it must be fake, but this isn├óΓé¼Γäót always the case. People have a right to know if they are buying raccoon, dog or a polyester blend.”
The new legislation is similar to the Humane Society‘s lawsuit against Saks and Neiman Marcus that now requires the retailers to have stricter labeling regulations.
