I’m tired of “Animal Rights Activists” that talk out the ass

Today I was told by an activist that a fur farm ban was in place in EU, Israel and some US states (such as California) – this conversation took place over the St-Jude fur farm, today the media reports it was charged for cruelty, ARA’s suggest that a global ban on “fur farming” is the only solution, sadly, while I may agree, it’s not a reality. I had to shit-can this activist with some facts…

First of all, there are no bans on fur farming in the USA. There is a ban on fur sales in West Hollywood, that’s a weak municipal by-law to ban fur sales such as Verdun’s ban on pet stores (that sell non-neutered pets), it fails to prevent sales.

The city’s ban, which went into effect last year, doesn’t illegally discriminate against retailers of new clothing by allowing sales of used fur by private parties and second-hand stores as well as sales of handbags and furniture with fur, U.S. District Judge George H. King in Los Angeles said in a ruling yesterday.

Secondly, despite some European countries banning fur farming.

The EU still accounts for 63% of the global fur farming market.

Thirdly, Israel has major opposition to it’s “proposed bill to ban fur trades”.

One faction the fur-ban activists did not reckon with, though, were the ultra-orthodox Hasidim Jews, notable for their distinctive clothing.

They objected to the all-out fur ban, saying it was going against their traditions, because they would be unable to wear the round furry hat, known as the shtreimel.

The bill had now been amended to include a “cultural exception” that will allow the Hasidim to keep wearing fur to preserve their traditions.

Now about the shtreimel,

The shtreimel is typically custom-made for the intended wearer, of genuine fur, from the tips of the tails typically of Canadian or Russian sable, stone marten, baum marten (Pine Marten), or American gray fox. The shtreimel is the most costly article of Hasidic clothing, ranging in price from US$1,000 to US$5,400.

Manufacturers of shtreimels can be found in New York City, Montreal, Bnei Brak, and Jerusalem. The shtreimel manufacturers (shtreimel machers in Yiddish) keep their trade a closely guarded secret.

Now let’s look at the numbers.

In 1992, out of a total of 1,500,000 Orthodox Jews world wide, about 550,000 were Haredi (half of them in Israel).

In 2012, according to Statistics Canada Canadian fur farms saw 8,540 fox and 2,971,200 mink born. Of that number, 8,120 foxes and 2,804,800 mink were killed and their pelts harvested.

So to all Animal Rights Activists out there, stop talking out the ass. I’ll upload a video later on today to show another example of ARA’s speaking out the ass. ARA’s are now sounding like the religious zealots, and can a ban on fur violate religious and cultural rights? HALAL meat is already a form of religious cruelty!
